Altitude
- is the perpendicular segment
drawn from one vertex of the triangle to
the line containing the opposite side.

Angle Bisector
- is the segment drawn from one
vertex and dividing the angle into two
congruent angles.

AP - Angle bisector

- is a triangle with three angles are
less than 90.
Examples:
59
70

- is a triangle with one of the angle
is more than 90.
Examples:
20

- is a triangle
with one angle is
exactly 90.
- the longest side
is the hypotenuse and
the two sides are the
legs.

- is a triangle with all angles are
congruent.
Example: 60
