help plez explain it to me
altitude you can think of like in plain english it is the height
i dont get it
The altitude of a triangle is the closest point between a vertex and it's opposite side. The closest point always being connected by a segment that is perpendicular to the opposite side. The altitude satisfies (height of the altitude)*(size of the base where the altitude starts)*1/2=area of that triangle
i still dont get the first one
are of the traiangle is (1/2)*base*height in the given triangle, base is 7 cm. are u clear with this?
no
ok. just any side of a traiangle can be considered as the base. in this figure, the only side whose length is known is IC . so we consider it as the base. is this clear?
yes a little
to calculate the area, we need base and height. now the base, we have taken it as the side IC , which is = 7cm. Height of a triangle is nothing but the distance of the vertex opposite to the base, from the base. So, tell me, which is the opposite vertex in this figure?
??????????
1 sec
kk
do you require assistance?
idk i need help
help me
which one?
all
step by step
altitude is from the base to a vertex(angle origin). every triangle has three sides and three possible bases.
