Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the Diagram

Examine the triangle XYZ. The line segment WY is drawn from vertex W to side XZ.

Step 2: Identify the Angle

Notice that the angle formed between WY and XZ is 56°, which is not 90°.

Step 3: Determine the Type of Line Segment

Since WY is not perpendicular to XZ, it cannot be an altitude. It also does not bisect the angle at W, so it is not an angle bisector. WY does not appear to divide XZ into two equal parts, so it is not a median.

Final Answer

None of these.
