Altitude.
An altitude.
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
It is an altitude.
A perpendicular line or segment that bisects one side of a triangle is called the median of the triangle. Specifically, it is the line segment that connects a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side, creating two equal segments. This segment is not only perpendicular but also plays a crucial role in various triangle properties and constructions.
A line segment that connects a vertex of a triangle to a point on the line containing the opposite side, where the segment is perpendicular to that line, is known as an altitude of the triangle. This segment represents the shortest distance from the vertex to the opposite side, and it helps to determine the triangle's height when calculating its area. Each triangle has three altitudes, one from each vertex.

A segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
The segment that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the opposite side is called the altitude of the triangle.
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.
