Question
Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F):
The two altitudes corresponding to two equal sides of a triangle need not be equal.

Solution
False (F)
Reason: Since two sides are equal, the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
⇒ The two altitudes corresponding to two equal sides must be equal.
