The perpendicular from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side is known as the altitude of the triangle. It represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the line containing the opposite side. The point where the altitude intersects the opposite side is called the foot of the altitude. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.
