Determine whether the statement is true or false:
AD is the height of the triangle ADB.
To determine whether AD is the height of triangle ADB, we must inspect whether segment AD is perpendicular to the base BD. By definition, the height of a triangle from a vertex is a line segment perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side. The diagram describes that AD is a vertical line, indicating a perpendicular relationship to the horizontal line BC. Thus, within triangle ADB, AD perfectly aligns as the height from vertex A to the base BD.
Therefore, the statement is True.
