I don't really know, though...
Please assist :)
Thanks.

Answer 1

Is the altitude in red?

Answer 2

Altitude is always the perpendicular distance to a base from the vertex opposite it.

Answer 3

These were all my possible answers:

Answer 4

yes, but did you understand the concept?

Answer 10

That's what I wrote first. It is the perpendicular distance to a base of the triangle from the vertex opposite it.

In the triangle I drew, If I consider BC as my base, the perpendicular distance from A is how I draw it. Even though it goes outside the triangle that will be your height (altitude)

Answer 11

Thanks! I understand it now. :)

Answer 12

I'm so grateful.
Thank you.
I got 100% on the test. :D
