Determine whether the statement is true or false.
AD is the median in the triangle ABC.
To determine if AD is the median of triangle ABC, we recall that a median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. In this scenario, we would need to verify if point D is indeed the midpoint of side BC.
As a median divides the opposite side into two equal halves, our task would be to confirm the equality of segments BD and DC with available information or measurements.
However, the problem does not provide specific measurements, coordinates, or other information necessary to confirm that D is the midpoint of BC. Without this critical information, it is impossible to ascertain whether AD is a median.
Therefore, the conclusion is that the statement about AD being a median cannot be determined with the given data.
Thus, the correct answer to the problem is: Impossible to determine.
Impossible to determine.
