To construct an isosceles when altitude CD to the base AB is 2 cm and the vertical angle C = 90 o (1) Take any straight line XY and at any point D on it, draw cutting off DC = 2 cm. Join DC. (2) At C, on either side of DC, construct angles DCA and ... To construct the triangle, given the perimeter and the base angle..

In a triangle, an altitude is a segment of the line through a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. An altitude is the portion of the line between the vertex and the foot of the perpendicular. ... Construct the altitude hc of the ΔABO by dropping a normal from the vertex O to the side c = AB. Denote Hc the heel of...
