What is the vertical distance between the base of the triangle and top?

The vertical distance between the base of a triangle and its top is known as the height or altitude. This measurement is taken perpendicularly from the base to the apex (the highest point) of the triangle. The height can vary depending on the type of triangle and its dimensions. To find it, you may use formulas involving the area or apply the Pythagorean theorem in the case of right triangles.
