Have fun exploring heights and bases of a triangle! Suggested activities:
- Observe that the triangle is made up of 3 lines: red, green and blue, hence it will have 3 possible bases.
- Observe that the triangle is an acute triangle.
- Slowly move Point B up and down, as you are doing so...
- What do you notice about the 3 heights (red, green and blue dotted lines)?
- They all "drop" from the apex perpendicularly "down" to their respective bases
- They intersect one another.
- Observe when the green and blue heights seem to "disappear' into blue and green bases
