1. The problem asks to identify the term that describes segment WY in triangle VUX with a right angle at W. 2. Given that WY is drawn from vertex W perpendicular to side UX, it forms a right angle with UX. 3. Definitions: - Altitude: A segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. - Perpendicular bisector: A line perpendicular to a segment that divides it into two equal parts. - Angle bisector: A segment that divides an angle into two equal angles. 4. Since WY is perpendicular from vertex W to side UX, WY is an altitude. 5. WY is not a perpendicular bisector because it does not necessarily bisect UX. 6. WY is not an angle bisector because it does not split an angle into two equal parts. Final answer: WY is an altitude.
