Solution
The correct option is C 4 cm The given triangle is a right-angled triangle.
Hence, two sides are perpendicular to each other.
Also, these sides pass through one of the vertices of the triangle.
We know that altitudes are perpendiculars drawn from a vertex to opposite side.
∴ These are also the altitudes of the given triangle.
