'altitude' or perpendicular.
If on line is the base (horizontal) line, then the line that is a 90 degrees to it is the perpendicular/altitude.
What else can I help you with?
Draw a triangle where the altitude is a side of the triangle?
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
What is the formula to find the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
It is: c2-b2 = a2 whereas c is the hypotenuse, b is the base and a is the altitude
How you can draw a altitude with isosceles triangle?
The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.
If a median of a triangle is also an altitude of a triangle then is the triangle isosceles?
Yes
The base of an isosceles triangle is 18 cm long the equal side are each 24 cm long What is the altitude?
Since an isosceles triangle can be represented by two right triangles back to back, you can utilize the pythagorean theorum to solve this example. Specifically: 18cm/2 = 9cm = 1 leg of right triangle (A) 24cm = hypotenuse of right triangle (C) A squared + B squared = C squared Altitude = B = square root of (C squared - A squared) = approximately 19.875
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
Draw a triangle where the altitude is a side of the triangle?
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
What is the altitude of a right isosceles triangle with an altitude of 10?
I would hazard a guess and say it was 10.
What is the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle?
Sqrt x2+y2
The legs of a right triangle are altidudes?
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
Example problems in right plane triangle?
Here are a couple Find the altitude of a triangle with base 3 and hypotenuse 5. Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle with each side to 2
What is the height of the triangle?
The height of a triangle is the point from the base to the upmost point of the triangle. On a right triangle, it is measured on the the longest side that makes a right angle. Thanks for using Answers.com!
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle that forms a right angle with the opposite side?
An altitude.
In an isosceles triangle what are the altitude and media?
In an isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex angle to the base bisects the base and is also the median, as it divides the triangle into two congruent right triangles. This altitude is perpendicular to the base, creating two equal segments. Consequently, in an isosceles triangle, the altitude, median, and angle bisector from the vertex angle to the base are all the same line segment.
Is the altitude of a triangle perpendicular?
The altitude of a triangle is measured perpindicular to its base.
