Question 5 • Mathematics II

In which type of triangle is the orthocenter on the perimeter of the triangle?

Answer
A
an acute triangle
B
an obtuse triangle
C
an equilateral triangle
D
a right triangle

Explanation

In a right triangle, the two legs are already altitudes because they meet the opposite sides at right angles. Those altitudes intersect at the right-angle vertex, so the orthocenter lies on the triangle’s perimeter. The correct choice is a right triangle.
