'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.

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
What is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle if this altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters?
What a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
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.
Which statement about an altitude of a triangle is always true?
An altitude intersects another altitude at the centroid. FALSE - The altitudes intersect at what is called the orthocenter.An altitude intersects another altitude at its midpoint. FALSE - The altitudes will meet at random intersection points.An altitude is present inside a triangle FALSE - The altitude can be outside the triangle.An altitude makes a right angle with a side of the triangle. TRUE - An altitude is the line from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.
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.
Is the altitude of a triangle perpendicular?
The altitude of a triangle is measured perpindicular to its base.
