Where can the lines containing the altitudes of an obtuse triangle intersect?
1 answer:
Answer: Choice C) III only
As shown in the attached image, the altitudes are lines that are perpendicular to the sides of the triangle and they go through the opposite vertex. In the example shown, the orthocenter is the result of intersecting the altitudes. The orthocenter is outside the obtuse triangle. It will never be on the triangle or on the inside of the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the perimeter of this shape can be written as: (Sides with the same number of dashes are equal in length)
Which becomes:
Since AB = , we can substitute to get the length of AB:
We can also use substitution to solve for the length of EF:
