Question

if AD is the altitude, which of the following is true?
- AD ⊥ BC
- AD = BC
- AD =
BC - BD = DC
Hint:
Altitude is always perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
The correct answer is: AD ⊥ BC
STEP BY STEP SOLUTION
In the given figure AD is the altitude of the triangle ABC
So, AD will always be perpendicular to base of triangle (i.e AC)
Hence, AD
AC
