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
How is the altitude and a median of a triangle the same?
they are the same because the triangles side is equal
What are the circutances for an altitude to lie outside a triangles?
It must be an obtuse angled triangle.
What is the altitude of a triangular pyramid if its faces are equilateral triangles and its base edge in 6cm?
5.408 cm.
What is the formula for finding the surface area of a hexagon?
Area of triangle = ½ base x altitude. Regular hexagon is 6 equal triangles so Area= 3 x base x altitude

5.408 cm.
What is the length in inches of a triangles altitude if its base is thirty-two inches?
I suppose by "length of a triangles altitude" you mean height. The height of the triangle in question cannot be determined from the information given. In order to determine the height of the triangle, two dimensions must be known.
How do you find right triangles altitutde?
If you know the hypotenuse and the base then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the altitude
Can the median of an equilateral triangle be longer than its altitude?
For the equilateral triangle in Euclidean space(i.e, the triangles you see in general) median is the same as its altitude. So, both are of equal length.
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.
What is the formula for finding the surface area of a hexagon?
Area of triangle = ½ base x altitude. Regular hexagon is 6 equal triangles so Area= 3 x base x altitude
In a right triangle when you draw an altitude to the hypotenuse are the triangles ever similar?
Only if the angles of the triangle are 90, 45, and 45.
An altitude drawn to a side of a triangle passes through the midpoint of that side?
Not necessarily. That only happens in isosceles and equilateral triangles.
What is the formula for finding the altitude of a triangle?
actually it's a2+b2=c2 the altitude is a or b and can be found by c2/a2*=b2* * a2 and b2 are interchangeable. by the way this only works with right triangles.
