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 right angle. In a non-right triangle, this construction divides the original triangle into two smaller triangles, each containing a 90-degree angle. Therefore, it forms two right triangles.
