Altitude


What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?

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


What is perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to opposite side?

The perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side is known as the altitude of the triangle. It represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the line containing the opposite side. The point where the altitude intersects the opposite side is called the foot of the altitude. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.


Does altitude of a triangle always bisect the opposite side?

What is the difference between a median and the altitude of a triangle?

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to the opposite side or an extension of the opposite side.


What is the perpendicular segment from one vertex of a triangle to the opposite side or the line that contains the opposite side?

Altitude.


What is any perpendicular segment connecting a vertex to an opposite side?

In geometry, a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex to its opposite side is the altitude of a triangle. Triangles have three altitudes, according to this definition for altitude.
