Question

question 32 of 50
the altitude of a triangle forms a perpendicular line.
false
true

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a triangle's altitude

The altitude (or height) of a triangle is a perpendicular segment from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side. So, by definition, the altitude forms a right (perpendicular) angle with the base (or the line of the opposite side).

Step2: Evaluate the statement

The statement says "The altitude of a triangle forms a perpendicular line." Since the altitude is perpendicular to the opposite side, this statement is true.

Answer:

True (the option with "True")
