what is the altitude of a right triangle?

>>>> what is the altitude of a right triangle?\n\nI have several here, and I am at 12 metres above sea level.\nSeriously, you haven’t provided enough information. You need at minimum the length of 2 sides or a side and an angle as well as the orientation to be able to calculate height (altitude).\n\n>>>>>>if the equation is d=2r what is the d and the r what exectly \n>>>>>>>am I finding with this equation \n\nd = diameter. r= radius. You are finding either how far it is from one side of a circle to another (d), or how far it is form the edge of a circle to the centre (r).

The hypotenuse is closely associated with the right triangle. In the right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side. The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, which is (leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse^2). a and b are both legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse

Altitude is the hight of the triangle, and a perpendicular bisector in an isosoles triangle is also the altitude(and it bisects an angle too). I don't remember what a median is; it's been a couple years since I took Geometry.

sin = sine\ncos = cosine\n\nthe sine of an angle in a right triangle is the side opposite divided by the hypoteneuse\n\nthe cosine is the adjacent side over the hypoteneuse.\n\nYou can look these values up in a table, or get them from some calculators.  google "sine" and you'll probably find a table.

By definition,hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle. So it has to be a right angled triangle.

This forms a right triangle.  You can use the pythagorean theorem to find L.\nThe hypotenuse is 3L - 2, and the legs are L and 2L + 2\n(3L-2)^2 = L^2 + (2L+2)^2\n9L^2 - 12L + 4 = L^2 + 4L^2 + 8L + 4\n9L^2 - 12L + 4 = 5L^2 + 8L + 4\nSubtract 4 from each side.\n9L^2 - 12L = 5L^2 + 8L \nMove everything to one side.\n4L^2 - 20L = 0\nFactor\n4L(L-5) = 0\nL = 0 or L = 5\nThe height can't be zero; therefore, L = 5\ntan(x) = L/(2L+2)\ntan(x) = 5/(10+2)\nx = arctan(5/12)\nx = 22.619864948\nx = 23

No. If the triangle is acute, the orthocenter will be inside. When the triangle is right, the orthocenter is the vertex of the triangle at the right angle. When an obtuse triangle is constructed and the altitudes are drawn, the intersection of the altitudes is outside of the triangle

The Pythagorean Theorem deals with right triangles.  The two sides of the right triangle that are connected to the right angle are its legs, and the third (longest) side is called the hypotenuse.  The theorem says that\n\nleg squared plus other leg squared equals hypotenuse squared\n\nSo if one leg is 3 and the other is 4, the hypotenuse is 5 because 3 squared (9) plus 4 squared (16) = 25, which is 5 squared.

since it is right angle triangle, the addition of square of two arms will be equal to the square of hypotenuse.\n\nNow consider the smaller leg is 'x' inches, thus the other leg would be 'x+14' inches and hypotenuse would be 'x+16' inches.\n\nFrom the property of right angle triangle, we have now\n\n(x+16)^2 = x^2 + (x+14)^2\n\nor, x^2+32x+256=x^2+x^2+28x+196\nor, -x^2+4x+60=0\nor, x^2-4x-60=0\nor x^2-10x+6x-60=0\nor x(x-10)+6(x-10)=0\nor (x-10)(x+6)=0\n\nso x can have 2 values -6 and 10. since it is a distance it can not be negative, thus the shortest length of the right angle triangle is 10 inches. The other arm would 24 inches and the hypotenuse will be 26 inches.... (answer is 10,24,26)\n\ncheers:)

You have a right triangle with legs 106 and 88, a & b respectively. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse is square root of 18980. Now, use related rates. (dc/dt)2c=(da/dt)2a+(db/dt)2b. That becomes (dc/dt)*2*sq. rt of 18980=19(212)+22(176). dc/dt=28.67 knots per hour.

The altitude of the triangle is 5 times the square root of  3, or 5 times 1.7.\nArea of a triangle = 1/2 bh, so Area = 1/2 times (10)  times (5 times 1.7) = 42.5 or more accurately 43.30127019 using the correct value of the square root of 3.

a right triangle is called a right triangle because there is a 90 degree angle in it.

yes ofcoure it is meant to for an example i can tell you\n\n\nthe trigonometry is used in aviation\n\nu know how to calculate distance say a flight from \n\n30 deg north and 45 deg east is landing at 21 south and 36 west \n\n\n\nhere they use right angle  triangle the phythogers theorem ,\n\nmark the two location in a chart scaled say one deg per square,\nthen you can joint the lines to make a right angle triangle,\nno with no of degres in adjacent and opposite side of triange u can calculate the hypotunuse ( sum of suares of other two sides is the sum of squares of hypotenuse).\n\n\nthis is an ex: u have every thing use in one or more way in actual  applications.

in triangles ABE and BEC\n<AEB=<BEC=90*\nAB=BC (given)\n<ABD=<BCE(given\ntherefore the triangles are congruent\ntherefore BD=EC\nbut EC=AE as in an isosceles triangle the altitude bisects the base\nso BD=AE (cpct)\nhence proved

To prove that it is a right triangle you can you pythagorean theorem.\n\nFirst graph the triangle...i really can't help you with that.\n\nFrom A to B is 4 units \n         B to C is  sqrt 41 units. by using the distantance formula\n         sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2- y1)^2)\n         C to A is 5 units\n\nSo now for the p theorem\n\nx^2 + y^2 = z^2\n\n4^2 + 5^2 = sqrt 41^2\n\n16 + 25 = 41\n\n41 = 41\n\nsince this is true the triangle is a rt triangle.

Altitude is the height above the horizon, usually measured in degrees. The horizon is at 0 degrees and the point directly overhead, called the Zenith, is 90 degrees.\n\nAzimuth is the direction along the horizon, with North usually taken as 0 degrees. So East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees and West is 270 degrees. Sometimes Azimuths over 180 degrees are expressed as negative numbers, so that West is -90 degrees, meaning 90 degrees from North but counting to the left instead of to the right.
