- 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.

Which statement about the base angles of an isosceles triangle is true?
The base angles are always congruent.
Is this statement true or falseThree given angle measures always generate a unique triangle?
false
An altitude of a triangle may not fall outside the triangle true or false?
False
What statement is always true about an obtuse triangle?
An obtuse triangle has 1 obtuse angle and 2 acute angles which add up to 180 degrees.
is this statement true or false the incenter of a triangle is equidistant from all three sides of the triangle?
true
Is this statement true or falseThe cicumcenter of a triangle is always in the interior of a triangle?
false
Is this statement true or falseThe circumcenter of a right triangle always lies on the hypotenuse?
true
Which statement about the base angles of an isosceles triangle is true?
The base angles are always congruent.
Is this statement true or falseThree given angle measures always generate a unique triangle?
false
The sum of a triangle's angles will always equal 180 degrees?
"The sum of the angles in a triangle equal 180 degrees" is a true statement.
Is this true If a median an altitude and an angle bisector are the same segment in a triangle the triangle is scalene?
No, it's not true.
An altitude of a triangle may not fall outside the triangle true or false?
False
is this statement true or false the incenter of a triangle is equidistant from the sides of the triangle?
true
Is this statement true or falseThe incenter of a triangle is equidistant from the sides of the triangle?
true
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 statement is always true about an obtuse triangle?
An obtuse triangle has 1 obtuse angle and 2 acute angles which add up to 180 degrees.
Is this statement true or falseThe centroid of a triangle is the point of concurrency of the medians of the triangle?
true
