sometimes
Does altitude of a triangle always bisect the opposite side?
No.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope

No.
What is the definition for the word altitude in math?
Altitude is the math term that most people call height. The altitude is always perpendicular to base. The altitude of a triangle is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite vertex. The altitude of a parallelogram or trapezoid is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite side. Since the altitude must be perpendicular to the base, it is the term used for figures which do not have a right angle. Right triangles, squares, and rectangles, which have a right angle, do not require an altitude because the height is one of the sides of the figure.
Are the diagonals of a rhombus sometimes perpendicular?
A rhombus has 4 equal sides and the diagonals are always perpendicular
Are intersecting lines perpendicular always or sometimes?
sometimes
Will a square always be perpendicular?
Yes, each of the four sides will be perpendicular with the opposite side.
Does altitude of a triangle always bisect the opposite side?
No.
Are intersecting lines always sometimes or never perpendicular?
Sometimes.Perpendicular lines always intersect.Parallel lines never intersect.Therefore, intersecting lines may be perpendicular, but not always.
Are the diagonals of a rectangle sometimes always or never perpendicular?
The diagonals of a rectangle are never perpendicular but the diagonals of a square are perpendicular
Are the diagonal lines of a rhombus congruent?
Not always, sometimes they are perpendicular.
What is the opposite of sometimes?
The opposite of sometimes could be either never or always, but always is more accurately the opposite of "sometimes not" because always is the limit of sometimes.The opposite pairs in the formal study of logic:all are / some are notnone is / some are
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
Is an altitude always sometimes or never an angle bisector?
sometimes, the altitude of isosceles triangles resting on their base and equilateral triangles are angle bisectors
