User:Cathetus

CATHETUS¹ (Gr. shOros, a perpendicular line), in architecture the eye of the volute², so termed because its position is determined, in an Ionic or voluted capital, by a line let down from the point in which the volute generates.

In general, a cathetus is a line falling perpendicularly on a surface or another line. A leg of a right triangle (i.e., a side adjacent the right angle) is also known as a cathetus (plural: catheti).

If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
