How many perpendicular line segments are in a triangle?
if the triangle is a right angle it has 2 perpendicular line segments.
What is a perpendicular bisector on a triangle?
It is a perpendicular line (a vertical line) that divides the triangle into two equal parts.
Perpendicular bisector of a triangle?
Is a line that bisects a side of a triangle and is perpendicular to that side.
Does a isosceles triangle have perpendicular lines?
No but it does have a perpendicular line of symmetry.
Where is the altitude of a right triangle?
'altitude' or perpendicular. If on line is the base (horizontal) line, then the line that is a 90 degrees to it is the perpendicular/altitude.
Does a triangle have perpendicular line segments?
It can but need not.
What is perpendicular adjacent sides in the triangle?
The perpendicular adjacent sides in the triangle would be 3 sides. It is the basically horizonstal line next to a vertical line(perpendicular) if it was parallel adjacent then only two side of triangle /\ <-- parallel
What area of a triangle does a perpendicular bisector split?
a line that intersects an edge of a triangle that is perpendicular to it and passes through the midpoint
What is the crosssection perpendicular to the base of a triangle?
A triangle does not have a cross-section but the perpendicular line of a right angle triangle meets the base at 90 degrees.
What is the name of the line that is perpendicular to a side of the triangle at the midpoint of the side?
A perpendicular bisector
Prove that the tangent at a to the circumcircle of triangle abc is parallel to bc where triangle abc is a isosceles triangle?
The circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through the three vertices. Its center is at the circumcenter, which is the point O, at which the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle are concurrent. Since our triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular line to the base BC of the triangle passes through the vertex A, so that OA (the part of the bisector perpendicular line to BC) is a radius of the circle O. Since the tangent line at A is perpendicular to the radius OA, and the extension of OA is perpendicular to BC, then the given tangent line must be parallel to BC (because two or more lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line).
What of a triangle can split an angle of the triangle into two congruent parts?
a perpendicular line.
