How do you find the altitude of the hypotenuse in a right triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem: hypotenuse^2 minus base^2 = altitude^2
What is the altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240?
The altitude of a right triangle if the base is 96 and the hypotenuse is 240 is: 229.87
How do you use the altitude to find the length of a right angle?
If 2 sides are known then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side of a right angle triangle.
Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
How do you find angle in a triangle when the sides and altitude are givenin trigonometry?
Suppose you are given the three sides of a triangle and the altitude from the apex to the base. The altitude divides the triangle into two right-angled triangles and the arcsine function can be used to determine the two base angles. Subtracting their sum from 180 gives the third angle.
