Suggested Answer

Answer:so now i think you can find the slope of the sides.the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is - so now you can also find the slopes of the altitude. i will do one side for you and you do the remaining the slope of side BC is (2-0)/(9-0) = 2/9 so the slope of the altitude passing through A will be -9/2Step-by-step explanation:so i think it would be side AC
