Given a 30'60'90 triangle, if you were to draw an altitude from the right angle, wouldn't that split it into two 45 degree angles and make two new right triangles?

if the line intersected the hypotenuse forming 2 right angled triangles, it wouldnt equally bisect the first right 90 degree angle but rather come out at a 2 3rds, 1 3rd ratio

Ok, i get it because splitting it in half would give a slanted line in respect to to the hyptoenuse

OpenStudy (jack1):

yup
