Right triangle altitude to the hypotenuse is related to the legs of the right triangle by For solutions of this equation in integer values of "a, b, f", and "c", see here. The altitude from either leg coincides with the other leg. Since these intersect at the right-angled vertex, the right triangle's orthocenter—the intersection of its three altitudes—coincides with the right-angled vertex. The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the
Extended side of the hexagon (extended if necessary) meet in three points which lie on a straight line, called the Pascal line of the hexagon. Extended side In plane geometry, an extended side or sideline of a polygon is the line that contains one side of the polygon. The extension of a side arises in various contexts. In an obtuse triangle, the altitudes from the acute angled vertices intersect the corresponding extended base sides but not the base sides themselves. The excircles of a triangle, as well as the triangle's inconics that are not inellipses, are externally tangent to one side and
