Question

Where is the orthocenter of obtuse triangle CDE located? Find GD.
A. outside of the triangle; GD = 5
B. inside the triangle; GD = 5
C. outside of the triangle; GD = 7.
D. inside the triangle; GD = 7

Answer 1

Orthocenter of an obtuse triangle is always outside the triangle.
As we know, EGC= 180 - DGC = 180-90=90

5x+55=90
5x=35
x=7

GD = 2*7-9=14-9=5

The answer is: A. outside of the triangle; GD = 5

Answer 2

Answer: GD=5! A
