What is the altitude in geometry?
Altitude is the height of a shape. The point where all altitudes of a closed shape meet is called the orthocenter. To FIND an altitude rest one flat side of the shape on the "ground" and measure straight up to the point furthest from the ground. In other words, measure at a right angle from the line segment forming one side across to a line segment or vertex on the opposite side. Example: Altitude of a square, measure any side -- the altitude of the "top" is the same height as any other side, since all sides are at right angles and the distance from the bottom to the top is the same anywhere on the square.
What is the pointed top of a mountain?
The top of a mountain is called the summit.
What is diagonally?
from left top to right bottom or right top to left bottom
What is the word for a mountain with a flat top?
A mesa is a flat-topped mountain.
Is a parallellogram a trapezoid?
No, a parallellogram has the same both "top" and "bottom" size. A trapezoid has diffrent both "top" and "bottom" size.
Is the altitude greater at the top of a mountain?
A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.
Is air density greater at the top or the bottom of a mountain?
Bottom
Where is the air pressure greater at the bottom at the top of the mountain?
on the bottom of the mountainbeacause you are more below air level
Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?
As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain
Why is it cooler on the top of a mountain than on the bottom of a mountain?
because the air at the top of the mountain ha s a lot less oxygen in it at the bottom of it. also the air particles have less room to move then at the bottom of the mountain
Why is the level of air pressure less at the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?
Air is denser at lower altitudes and less dense at higher altitudes. If the bottom of the valley is directly below the mountain, at a lower altitude, then there is technically more air in the valley.
What is the highest mountain from top to bottom?
mauna kea from top to bottom NOT mount Everest
Why do people have trouble breathing at the top of a high mountain?
Because of the high altitude.
What is the depth of an underwater mountain?
An underwater mountain has height from the ocean bottom, the top and bottom of the mountain have depth from the surface of the water.
Where is faster to boil on top of the mountain or on the ground of a mountain?
on the top of the mountain as pressure is greater so water will boil quicker
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Why would it be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain?
Because of the altitude.
