If altitude BD for ABC falls outside the triangle, what kind of triangle is ABC?

Select the appropriate response:

A) Acute
B) Right
C) Equilateral
D) Obtuse

I don’t think if this makes any sense

Answer:

D: Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

An Acute angle is an angle smaller than a right angle. The range of an acute angle is between 0 and 89 degrees

A Right angle is an angle of 90°, as in a corner of a square or at the intersection of two perpendicular straight lines

A Equilateral angle is also known as an Internal angle of 60°. A equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal

An Obtuse angle is the smaller angle. It is more than 90° and less than 180.

Answer:

Obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

Obtuse: The altitude connected to the obtuse vertex is inside the triangle, and the two altitudes connected to the acute vertices are outside the triangle.
