The altitude of a triangle is the distance from the line containing the base to the vertex. Draw the base and continue on outside of the triangle. Measure perpendicular from that line to the vertex.

Does the altitude of a triangle fall outside the triangle?
In an obtuse angled triangle, two of them will.
How do you make a model of median and altitude of a triangle?
median intersect each other at a point inside triangle and altitude intrsect eachother at apoint outside triangle
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because an altitude does not necessarily intersect the of the triangle?
sides
What are the circutances for an altitude to lie outside a triangles?
It must be an obtuse angled triangle.
In which type of triangle does a orthocenter of the triangle fall outside the triangle?
Obtuse triangle! To make this happen the altitude lines have to be extended so they cross.Hope this helps!

The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the altitude may not intersect any side of the triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because an altitude does not necessarily intersect the sides of the triangle.
May an altitude of a triangle may fall outside the triangle?
yes
Is an altitude ever outside a triangle?
Sure. If one of the base angles is more than 90 degrees, then the altitude (height) is outside the triangle. Yes. This only occurs with an obtuse triangle. Because an altitude is a line drawn from a vertex to the opposite side and is perpendicular with that opposite side, it can only occur if it is outside the triangle. Look at the triangle in related links. If you look at the vertex on the top, the only way to draw the altitude would be to draw outside the triangle.
An altitude of a triangle may not fall outside the triangle true or false?
False
How do you make a model of median and altitude of a triangle?
median intersect each other at a point inside triangle and altitude intrsect eachother at apoint outside triangle

The lenght of one side of an equilateral triangle is 10 cm find the altitude of the triangle?
The triangle's altitude is 8.7 (8.66025) cm.
How do you find the altitude of a triangle?
altitude(height)=(Area * 2) /length(Base)
