The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.
Given an altitude of 12 units, an equilateral triangle has side lengths of 13.9 (13.85641) units.
Each side of the triangle is 16.16581 units in length.
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.
The length of each side is 9.2376 cm. (rounded)
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.
hoe can we draw an altitude
The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.
The altitude forms a right angle triangle with half the side length and one side as the hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras: (½side)² + altitude² = side² → altitude² = side² - ¼side² → altitude² = ¾side² → altitude = (√3)/2 × side → altitude = (√3)/2 × 6 = 3√3 ≈ 5.2
Yes its perpendicular height or altitude is sometimes calculated out side the triangle depending on its shape.
No. The altitude is smaller.
The triangle's altitude is 8.7 (8.66025) cm.
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.
Draw two altitudes: an altitude is a straight line from a vertex to the opposite side. The three altitudes of a triangle meet at the orthocentre, but two are enough to determine the point.
An altitude.
Given an altitude of 12 units, an equilateral triangle has side lengths of 13.9 (13.85641) units.
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.
