Altitude:the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In honors geometry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proving triangles congruent.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Oh I see your using altitudes for Geometry.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ok

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i can help

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

The definition of the altitude of a triangle is a line that extends from one vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side. Sometimes the opposite side isn't quite long enough to draw an altitude, so we are allowed to extend it to make an altitude possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so is the next step to prove the segment perpendicular, or do i just prove right angles?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

right angles

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

because altidute is perpendicular by it defenition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Prove its perpendicular

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
