Question

Comment on the existence of the altitude of the given triangle from vertex C.

• A. It does not exist as it lies outside the triangle.
• B. It exists, and it lies outside the triangle.

Answer 1

The correct option is B It exists, and it lies outside the triangle.

Altitude is a perpendicular drawn from a vertex to its opposite side of the triangle.
To draw a perpendicular to the side AB, which also passes through the vertex C, we have to extend the side AB.


Here, $A^{/}C$ is the altitude of the triangle passing through vertex C.
