The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.

and is perpendicular to the opposite side.
An altitude in a triangle is always perpendicular to the opposite side. By definition, an altitude is a line segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side, forming a right angle with that side. This property holds true for all types of triangles, including acute, right, and obtuse triangles.
