According to my dictionary the line is called a perpendicular, the altitude would then be its length. Patrick 13:53 Dec 24, 2002 (UTC)

[edit] Triangle's height

Given the length of two sides of a triangle, the ttriangle being a right triangle, how would on figure out the triangl's height? Bypegorr 23:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


Given that it's a right angle triangle, just use c^2=a^2+b^2 where c is opposite your right angle. Uncle_Math
