To start the proof of the Law of Cosines, an altitude is constructed. Which of the following is formed due to the construction of the altitude in a non-right triangle?

An altitude is drawn from a vertex to the opposite side, meeting that side at a 90-degree angle. In a non-right triangle, this divides the original triangle into two smaller right triangles. Therefore, the construction forms two right triangles.
