In a right triangle, the legs are 2 altitudes and the third is the altitude with the hypotenuse.

Good and correct answer a right angle triangle has 3 altitudes in it 2 altitudes are its two legs and one which is drawn to the hypotenuse.

As Far as My knowledge is concerned there are three altitudes in a right angled triangle two are its leg and the last one is drawn to its hypotenuse.
