What else can I help you with?
What goes from a vertex of a triangle to where it is perpendicular to the opposite side?
that is the height of the triangle
What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side of the triangle?
An altitude.
Does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle always passes through the opposite vertex?
No, the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not necessarily pass through the opposite vertex. The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, and it may intersect the interior or exterior of the triangle, depending on its shape. In fact, the only time a perpendicular bisector passes through the opposite vertex is in the case of an isosceles triangle, where the two sides are equal, and their perpendicular bisectors coincide with the altitude.
What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
What is a line segment connecting the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side?
It is an altitude.
What goes from a vertex of a triangle to where it is perpendicular to the opposite side?

What is a segment from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side of the triangle?
An altitude.
A perpendicular segment with one endpoint at a vertex and the other endpoint on the side opposite that vertex?
Altitude: The altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex and its opposite side. Let's construct the altitude of a triangle using a new triangle.
What is a perpendicular segment from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side?
altitude of a triangle.
Does a perpendicular bisector of a triangle always passes through the opposite vertex?
No, the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle does not necessarily pass through the opposite vertex. The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint, and it may intersect the interior or exterior of the triangle, depending on its shape. In fact, the only time a perpendicular bisector passes through the opposite vertex is in the case of an isosceles triangle, where the two sides are equal, and their perpendicular bisectors coincide with the altitude.
What is the altitude of a triangle?
A segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
What is a segment that passes through of vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side?
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
An altitude of a triangle is a line or segment that passes through a vertex of the triangle and is?
and is perpendicular to the opposite side.
What is the perpendicular distance from a vertex to the opposite base?
altitude
The of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to a line containing the opposite side?
median
What is a line segment connecting the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side?
It is an altitude.
How do you know which measurements are the base and the height of a triangle?
It does not matter. Any side can be the base. Then, the height is the perpendicular distance between that side and the opposite vertex.
