How to draw the height of a triangle

The solution of geometric problems is often useful in everyday life, and therefore it is not a sin to remember some simple things, for example, how to find the height of a triangle

Instruction manual

one

The height of the triangle is the perpendicular that was dropped from any vertex of the triangle to the directly opposite side. And the side on which the perpendicular was lowered is the base of the triangle.

2

In an obtuse triangle, two of its heights lie outside the triangle, and only the third height is inside the triangle.

3

In a triangle with acute angles, all its heights are located inside the triangle.

4

In a right triangle, the legs are the heights of the triangle.

5

Triangle Height Properties:

• As a result, all three heights invariably intersect at one point, which has the name - Orthocenter.

• In a right-angled triangle, the height is a perpendicular that is drawn from the top of a right angle

• The base of the heights form an orthotriangle, it has its own properties

6

The method of calculating the height depends on the type of triangle in which the desired height is located. You can calculate the height of a triangle through its other sides and angles.
