Well, darling, perpendicular height is simply the vertical distance between a point and a line. It's like measuring how high you need to jump to clear a hurdle - no rocket science there. So, if someone asks for the perpendicular height, just give them the straight-up distance between the point and the line, and call it a day.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

That means that the height should be measured perpendicular to some other line (or plane in some cases). For example, to calculate the area of a triangle, the formula is (1/2) x base x height, where the height must be measured perpendicular to the base.

What is the area of a triangle with base 5 and height 3?

Area = 1/2 base * perpendicular height so 1/2*21*9 =94.5 square units


Height of triangle?

The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance measured from the chosen base (or base extension*) to its opposite vertex (or apex)+.* If any of the shorter sides of an obtuse triangle is chosen to be the base, an extension need to be drawn to this base so that a perpendicular can be constructed from the apex down to this base extension.There are three sides to a triangle, hence three possible bases. Each base will have a corresponding height that is measured from the opposite vertex or apex+.A vertex is the point when 2 sides of a figure intersect.(Read more: vertex)+ A triangle has 3 vertices. 2 vertices defines the length of the base. There remains one vertex that is not touching the base. This vertex is opposite to the base (or base extension) and it is referred to as the apex.


What are the similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector?

Similarities between angle bisector and perpendicular bisector: Perpendicular bisector bisects a line segment into two equal parts at 90°. Angle bisector bisects an creating two congruent angles they both bisect into equal parts! =)
