The line PQ is altitude of the triangle. This can be obtained by understanding what an altitude is.

What is altitude of a triangle?

  • Altitude of a triangle: the perpendicular drawn from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side.
  • Commonly known as height of the triangle.

Properties of altitude of a triangle:

  • A triangle has 3 altitudes from the three vertices of the triangle.
  • The 3 altitudes intersect at a point known as the orthocenter of the triangle
  • The altitude of the triangle is the shortest distance from the vertex to the opposite side.

In the given triangle,

it is clear that angle Q is 90° and therefore PQ is a perpendicular line from the point P.

Since the perpendicular line, which is PQ, is drawn from the vertex, which is P  of the triangle to the opposite side, which is SR.

Thus PQ is the altitude of the triangle.

Hence in the given figure, the line PQ is the altitude of the triangle.
