In ΔABC right angled at A, D and E are points on BC, C such that BD = CD and AD ⊥ BC
Let us know about definition of altitude first. The altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular line segment drawn from the vertex to the opposite side of the triangle.
Median is the line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
<u>Let us Check all options one by one </u>
- CD is line segment which starts from vertex C but don't falls on opposite side AB thus it is not an altitude.❌
- BA is line segment which starts from vertex B and falls perpendicularly on opposite sides AC and is thus an altitude.✔️
- AD is line segment which starts from vertex A and falls perpendicularly on opposite side BC and is thus an altitude.✔️
- AE is a line segment which starts from vertex A but doesn't falls perpendicularly on opposite side BC and is thus not an altitude.❌
- AD falls on BC with D as mid point because BD = CD and is thus a median. ✔️
