Objective

​To find and use relationships in similar right triangles.

Vocabulary

​Altitude

The altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular drawn from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side.

Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Because the altitude is perpendicular to the opposite side, you can see that the altitude divides the original triangle into two right triangles.
