Which of the following figures will have it’s altitude outside the triangle

Solution:

We have to find which triangle has its altitude outside.

The altitude of a triangle is a perpendicular that is drawn from the vertex of a triangle to the opposite side.

The altitude makes a right angle with the base of the triangle that it touches.

Altitudes can be drawn in every triangle from each of the vertices.

From the above figures,

We observe that triangle (d) has its altitude outside.

Therefore, option d is true.
