What is the perpendicular distance from a vertex to the opposite base?
altitude
How is the area enclosed by a quadrilateral calculated?
You can calculate the area of any quadrilateral by dividing it into two triangles and summing their areas. A triangle's area is found by multiplying the base by the half of the height (when height measured perpendicular to the base)
The shortest distance from the base of a parallelogram to its opposite side?
Its height.
What is the shortest distance from the base of a parallelogram to its opposite side?
As small as you like. Infinitesimally small.
What is the area of a quadrilateral?
Quadrilaeral has 4 sides and the sum of angles of 180*2=360 The above awnser is right, but heres a simpler awnser: A quadrilateral is a closed foursided shape. (closed means all the sides are connected togethere with both sides next to them). A square is a quadrilateral For most quadrilaterals it is 'length times perpendicular height' and measured in square units. * * * * * The answer given for the area is true only for a small number of quadrilaterals which contain two pairs of parallel lines. The answer for most quadrilaterals is that they need to be divided into two triangles , the area of each calculated and the results added together.
What is the opposite side of a parallelogram base from its shortest distance?
It is the perpendicular distance.
What is the perpendicular distance from a vertex to the opposite base?
altitude
What is The shortest distance from the base of a parallelogram to its opposite side is?
The shortest distance from the given information will be its height
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
What is the perpendicular distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex?
That is the height of the triangle, the h in the formula a = 0.5b x h
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.
Whats the length of the altitude of a triangle or a quadrilateral?
The length depends on the triangle or the quadrilateral. Normally the figure is shown with one side horizontal, which is called the base. In a triangle, the altitude is the the line from the third vertex down to the base (or the extended base) and which is perpendicular to the base. In a quadrilateral, it is similar, but is the longer of the two lines from the two vertices that are not on the base itself. maximum length of a line perpendicular to the base that
What is a perpendicular height?
The perpendicular height extends from the vertex opposite the base to meet the base at a 90 degree angle.
What is the length of a perpendicular to the base with endpoints on opposite sides?
height
How is the area enclosed by a quadrilateral calculated?
You can calculate the area of any quadrilateral by dividing it into two triangles and summing their areas. A triangle's area is found by multiplying the base by the half of the height (when height measured perpendicular to the base)
How do you describe the height of a cone?
It is its perpendicular distance from the centre of its base to its apex
What are some traits of a parallelogram?
It is a 4 sided quadrilateral It has 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees Its opposite angles are equal It has 2 pairs of opposite parallel sides It has 2 diagonals It will tessellate Its perimeter is the sum of its 4 sides Its area is base times perpendicular height
