If CD is an altitude, then angle CDB and CDA are right angles by definition and triangle ACD is a right triangle as is BCD.
This way:
CD is perpendicular to AB definition of an altitude
measure of angle CDB = measure of angle CDA= measure of a right angle definition of perpendicular
both triangle CDB and triangle CDA are right triangles they each contain a right angle
