The length depends on the triangle or the quadrilateral. Normally the figure is shown with one side horizontal, which is called the base. In a triangle, the altitude is the the line from the third vertex down to the base (or the extended base) and which is perpendicular to the base. In a quadrilateral, it is similar, but is the longer of the two lines from the two vertices that are not on the base itself. maximum length of a line perpendicular to the base that
