a right angle
A line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side, where the segment is perpendicular to that line, is known as an altitude of the triangle. This segment represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the opposite side, and it helps to determine the triangle's height when calculating its area. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
Altitude
No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.
