What point on a cone is a vertex?
Because in math the definition for vertex is !the point of a geometric figure that is opposite the base. So in this case, the point is the vertex.
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.
Which term describes the single point positioned opposite the base in a pyramid?
vertex
How are pyramids and cones alike?
they all have a vertex, or a point, and one base. :-D
What is the difference between vertex and vertices?
vertices are the corners of something fo example a square has 4 vertices and a vertex is the point of intersection of lines or the point opposite the base of a figure
What point on a cone is a vertex?

A point is selected inside a rectangle such that its distance from one vertex is 11 cm its distance from the opposite vertex is 12 cm and its distance from a third vertex is 3 cm Its distance in?
if ABCD is the triangle and O is the point then AO^2 + CO^2=BO^2+DO^2. Hence distance from 4th vertex can be calculated
What is the perpendicular distance from a vertex to the opposite base?
altitude
What is the vertex in a triangle?
the vertex is between two edges (sides). The top point. or sometimes base.
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.
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.
How do you find an area in a triangle?
Multiply the length of the base by the height and divide by 2. The base can be any of the three sides. The height is the perpendicular distance from a vertex not included on the side chosen as the base to the base (or if the triangle is obtuse, from the vertex to a line extending from the base)

This has only one end point called its vertex?
A cone would fit the given description because it has a pointed vertex and a circular base.
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
