                        Syntax

                        height(Triangle, Integer)
                        
                        height(Point, Point, Point)
                        

                        Description

                        Given a triangle and an integer n, returns the height of the triangle passing through the n-th vertex.

                        Given three points A, B and C describing a triangle, returns the height passing through B.
