Line segment AL is an altitude of the
triangle. 
An altitude has one end point at a
vertex of the triangle and the other
on the line containing the opposite
side. Through each vertex, an
altitude can be drawn.

EXTERIOR ANGLE PROPERTY
An exterior angle of a triangle
is equal to the sum of its
interior opposite angles.
