Answer: All three of the altitudes lie entirely outside the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the center of the triangle formed by creating all the altitudes of each side.  

The altitude of a triangle is formed by creating a line from each vertex that is perpendicular to the opposite side.  

In acute traingle , the orthocenter lies inside it.

In right angled triangle, the orthocenter lies on the triangle.

In obtuse triangle , the orthocenter lies outside the triangle because all the three altitudes meet outside .

So, the best explains why the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle is outside the triangle : All three of the altitudes lie entirely outside the triangle.

Multiply and simplify the product.

Multiplying complex numbers is a lot like multiplying binomial terms. The only relation one has to remember when dealing with complex numbers is that i² = -1.

Now let us try to multiply binomials. This is done by adding the products of the first term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial, and the second term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial. This is done below:

(<span>3 – 5i)(–2 + 4i)  = -6 + 12i + 10i -20i²
</span>
Simplifying and applying i²<span> = -1:</span>
-6 + 22i - 20(-1)
-6 + 22i + 20
14 + 22i

Among the choices, the correct answer is B.

Since we know that triangle inequality theorem states that sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than third side.

Now let us see if it is true for our given side lengths.

10.6+5.6>4.0

16.2>4.0

Now let us try with another pair.

5.6+4.0>10.6

9.6

We can see that sum of 5.6 and 4 is less than 10.6. Therefore, 10.6 cm, 5.6 cm and 4.0 cm can not be side lengths of a triangle.
