Altitude is not a term that is generally used in mathematics.

The correspondent term used in geometry is high: we say the height of a triangle, not the altitude of a triangle. Altitude is a term used in physics and, mainly, in geography.

In geography, the altitude of a single earth point is the difference between the distance from the earth center of that point and the conventional sea level.
