In a triangle ABC, the altitude from A is not less than BC and the altitude from B is not less than AC. The triangle

A

right angled

B

isosceles

C

obtuse angled

D

equilateral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Given `c sin B ge a`
`rArr sin C sin B ge sin A`
and `a sin C ge b`
`rArr sin C sin A ge sin B`
`rArr sin C sin A ge sin B ge (sinA)/(sinC)`
`:. Sin^(2) C ge 1`
`rArr sin C = 1`
`rArr angle C " is " (pi)/(2)`
