The opposite to altitude is depth.
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 horizon.

The altitude is the same as the height (h), which is parallel to the base (b).
