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 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.
What is the altitude of a triangle?
A segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the line containing the opposite side
In a triangle a segment from the vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side is called?
The hypotenuse. It is used to measure height. Very simple equation.
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.
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.
What is any perpendicular segment connecting a vertex to an opposite side?
In geometry, a perpendicular segment that connects a vertex to its opposite side is the altitude of a triangle. Triangles have three altitudes, according to this definition for altitude.
A segment from a vertex of the triangle to the line containing the opposite side and perpendicular to that side is?
Altitude
What is the length of a perpendicular segment from a vertex of a triangle to the line that contains the base?
The vertical height.
