To find: The option that best describes the shortest distance from a vertex of a
Answer to Problem 4STP
The option F and H is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The shortest distance from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite.
An altitude of a triangle is a segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to the line containing that side.
Hence, option F is correct.
Also,
A median might not perpendicular to the side. So option H is incorrect. A diameter
Is used in a
Therefore, option J and F is correct.
