'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.
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
It is: c2-b2 = a2 whereas c is the hypotenuse, b is the base and a is the altitude
The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.
Yes
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
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
Any right triangle resting on a leg.
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
I would hazard a guess and say it was 10.
Sqrt x2+y2
If one leg of a right angled triangle is regarded as the altitude then the other leg is the base.
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
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!
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.)
An altitude.
The altitude of a triangle is measured perpindicular to its base.
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.
