What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
What is a segment from the vertex of a trangle perpendicular to the opposite side?
It is the altitude.
Can an altitude be a perpendicular bisector?
Yes - the altitude of an equilateral triangle is perpendicular to the side chosen as the base and bisects that side and the opposite angle. Also, the altitude of an isosceles triangle when measured from the third side (the side that is not equal to the other two sides) is a perpendicular bisector of the base and also bisects the opposite angle.
What is the perpendicular segment from one vertex of a triangle to the opposite side or the line that contains the opposite side?
Altitude.
What is any perpendicular segment connecting a vertex to an opposite side?
In geometry, a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex to its opposite side is the altitude of a triangle. Triangles have three altitudes, according to this definition for altitude.
A perpendicular segment with one endpoint at a vertex and the other endpoint on the side opposite that vertex?
Altitude: The altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex and its opposite side. Let's construct the altitude of a triangle using a new triangle.
What is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side?
altitude
What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side of the triangle?
An altitude.
A segment from a vertex of the triangle to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to that side is?
Altitude
Altitude of triangle?
A straight line from any vertex to the opposite side which is perpendicular to that side.
What line segment from a vertex that is perpendicular to the opposite side called?
it is called an altitude
