What is synonym for altitude?
Peak, elevation, height
How tall are the alps mountains?
The Alps are 15,782-feet tall at their highest point. The Alps stretch through eight European countries. Mont Blanc is the tallest peak in the mountain range.
What does the altitude of a mountain mean?
It's the height of the mountain. Or how high up the mountain something/someone is. The peak of Mt Everest is at an altitude of 8 848 meter or so, the altitude of the base camp is around 4000 meters or so.
Why is the sum of a triangle's angles will always equal 180 degrees?
By historical convention a complete circle is 360 degrees, so if you take a point on a straight line and rotate until you face the other way the total angle is 180 degrees. Now if you take any two parallel lines, any distance apart, and mark a point anywhere on one line, and two points anywhere on the other line, then by varying these two lines and three points you can form any shaped triangle by joining up the three points. Now because the lines are parallel there is no angle between them, so a straight line drawn from one to the other will provide two identical angles rotated 180 degrees about. Call these two identical angles A. Now if you take a new line from one of the intersections to a new point on the other parallel line the same applies and we will call the two new identical angles B. If you draw this out you will have a triangle with a base with angles A & B and for the sake of convention we will call the remaining angle at the peak of the triangle C. The total angle at the peak of the triangle enabling one of the parallel lines to rotate and face the other way is, as we have said, 180 degrees but is also equal to C plus the rotated angles A and B. therefore A+B+C = 180 Degrees which is the same as your three angles in the triangle. ( It's much easier with diagrams). Or, you can work simpler like this: In a piece of paper draw a conveniently large scalene triangle ABC. Write 1 under the vertex A, 2 under the vertex B, and 3 under the vertex C (these numbers represent respectively the measure of angles A, B, and C). Cut the paper, and on another piece of paper point the three vertices A, B, and C. Connect these three points, and write the corresponding numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively at vertices A, B, and C. Take the triangle and put the vertex C at the point A, A at C, and point B. Connect point B with others, and write the corresponding numbers under the corresponding vertices. Take the triangle and put the vertex C at the point B, the vertex B at A, and point A. Connect point A with others, and write the corresponding numbers under the corresponding vertices again. You can see that a straight angle is formed, whose measure is equal to the sum of the angles 1 + 3 + 2. Since the measure of a straight angle is equal to 180 degrees, then we say that the sum of the angles of a triangle is eaqual to 180 degrees (m A = 1) + (m B = 2) + (m C = 3) = 180 degrees.
The sum of the base and the height of a triangle is 20cm Find the demesions for which the area is maximum?
If we say that the base width is "b", the height is "h", and the area is "a", then we are told that: b + h = 20 ∴h = 20 - b Now, given the nature of a triangle, we know that it's area is half it's base times it's height, so we can also say: a = bh/2 Now we can combine those equations, narrowing it down to one variable ∴a = b(20 - b)/2 ∴a = 10b - b2/2 This equation gives us a parabola. Looking at the equation, you can see that it's an inverted parabola, with it's peak pointing "upwards". To find the point at which that parabola peaks, we need to know when it has a slope of 0. To find that point, we first need the slope of the curve, which we can get by taking it's derivative: a = 10b - b2/2 ∴a' = 10 - b if a' = 0, then b = 10. ∴ The highest point on that curve occurs when b = 10, ie, when it's base has a width of ten and when it's height is also 10. This makes sense. Consider: the highest ratio of area to border in a rectangle will happen when that rectangle is a square. Since the area of a rectangle is in fact half the area of the a square with the same width and height, that same relationship will hold true. So in order to get the maximum ratio of area to perimeter in a triangle, it's width and height should be the same.
