What is the center of mass of cone?
The centre of mass of a uniform solid cone is located at the at a distance h/4 from the base plane, where h is the height of the cone (the perpendicular distance of the vertex to the base plane). The result can be found by the equation. X =(1/M)∫ x dm
What is an orthocenter?
The orthocentre is a point within a triangle where the perpendicular of each vertex to its base intersect each other.

That is the height of the triangle, the h in the formula a = 0.5b x h
Area for a triangle?
1/2 base x height where: base is one of the sides height is the perpendicular distance from the base side to the opposite vertex
How do you know which measurements are the base and the height of a triangle?
It does not matter. Any side can be the base. Then, the height is the perpendicular distance between that side and the opposite vertex.
What is the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
the perpendicular distance from the base of a quadrilateral to the opposite side?
What is a perpendicular height?
The perpendicular height extends from the vertex opposite the base to meet the base at a 90 degree angle.
Height of triangle?
The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance measured from the chosen base (or base extension*) to its opposite vertex (or apex)+.* If any of the shorter sides of an obtuse triangle is chosen to be the base, an extension need to be drawn to this base so that a perpendicular can be constructed from the apex down to this base extension.There are three sides to a triangle, hence three possible bases. Each base will have a corresponding height that is measured from the opposite vertex or apex+.A vertex is the point when 2 sides of a figure intersect.(Read more: vertex)+ A triangle has 3 vertices. 2 vertices defines the length of the base. There remains one vertex that is not touching the base. This vertex is opposite to the base (or base extension) and it is referred to as the apex.
What is the opposite side of a parallelogram base from its shortest distance?
It is the perpendicular distance.
How do you find the altitude outside of a triangle?
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.
Why do we define an altitude of a triangle as a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to a line containing the opposite side?
An altitude of a triangle is defined as a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side because this definition ensures that the height of the triangle is measured at the maximum distance from the base, which is essential for calculating the area accurately. The perpendicularity guarantees that the height is the shortest distance between the vertex and the line containing the opposite side, thereby maintaining the geometric properties of the triangle. This definition is universally applicable, even in non-right triangles, ensuring consistency in geometric analysis.
Is the base of a pyramid opposite the vertex?
Vertex
What is the length of a perpendicular line drawn from one vertex to the opposite side?
The length of a perpendicular line drawn from one vertex to the opposite side of a triangle is known as the altitude. It varies depending on the type of triangle and the position of the vertex from which the altitude is drawn. The altitude can be calculated using the area of the triangle and the length of the base to which it is perpendicular. In general, the altitude is crucial for determining the triangle's area and properties.
Formula of area of triangle?
area = 1/2 x base x height The base of the triangle is any side (usually one horizontal at the bottom) and the height is the shortest distance from this side to the opposite vertex. The shortest distance is when a line drawn from the vertex meets the side at 90o (the perpendicular distance).
