The opposite of altitude?
The opposite to altitude is depth.
What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 6?
The altitude forms a right angle triangle with half the side length and one side as the hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras: (½side)² + altitude² = side² → altitude² = side² - ¼side² → altitude² = ¾side² → altitude = (√3)/2 × side → altitude = (√3)/2 × 6 = 3√3 ≈ 5.2
Altitude is the angle measured above the?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
What is the danger of altitude sickness at 7900 Ft.?
elevation and altitude sickness? Aspen? A concern?
What is altitude when speaking about triangles?
The altitude is the same as the height (h), which is parallel to the base (b).
Why do you measure latitude and altitude?
for math
What is another word for height in math that is not altitude?
width
What is a triangle in a math vertical?
It is the triangle's perpendicular altitude
What is the definition for the word altitude in math?
Altitude is the math term that most people call height. The altitude is always perpendicular to base. The altitude of a triangle is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite vertex. The altitude of a parallelogram or trapezoid is the distance from one side (or an extension of that side) to the opposite side. Since the altitude must be perpendicular to the base, it is the term used for figures which do not have a right angle. Right triangles, squares, and rectangles, which have a right angle, do not require an altitude because the height is one of the sides of the figure.
Are there any math terms that start with a?
· acute angle · algorithm · altitude · angle · area · arc · axis
How does a weather reporter use math?
A reporter must understand the science behind the meteorology to explain to listeners what is happening. Math is what has improved weather forecasting. Time, temperature, altitude, pressures, etc are all measured with math
What is air pressure at an altitude of 34 feet?
Air pressure decreases with altitude, so at 34 feet the air pressure would be slightly lower than at sea level. However, the change in pressure at such a small altitude difference would be minimal and likely not noticeable to the average person.
How does a astronot use math?
For example, if something is launched toward the ISS, scientists and astronomers have to take into account the altitude, the tangential speed, the speed of the object being launched, etc. Lots of math and calculus.
What is a non example of altitude?
Green is a non example of altitude.
How do you calculate the altitude of a triangle?
Let the given area is 10cm. Base of the triangle is 4 cm. altitude of triangle=? Area= 1/2 x Base x altitude 10= 1/2 x 4x altitude 10=2 x altitude 10/2= altitude 5= altitude Hence, altitude of the triangle is 5 cm.
How do you spell altitude in french?
altitude (fem.)
The opposite of altitude?
