The correct Answer is:
To determine which triangle has C as its orthocenter, we need to analyze the properties of the orthocenter in relation to triangle ABC and its altitudes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Orthocenter**: The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes intersect. In triangle ABC, the altitudes are AD, BE, and CF, with H being the orthocenter. 2. **Drawing Triangle ABC**: Start by sketching triangle ABC. Label the vertices A, B, and C. 3. **Constructing the Altitudes**: - Draw altitude AD from vertex A to side BC. - Draw altitude BE from vertex B to side AC. - Draw altitude CF from vertex C to side AB. 4. **Identifying the Orthocenter H**: The point where all three altitudes intersect is the orthocenter H of triangle ABC. 5. **Finding the Orthocenter of Triangle ABH**: - Now, we need to determine the orthocenter of triangle ABH. - The vertices of triangle ABH are A, B, and H. 6. **Analyzing the Altitudes of Triangle ABH**: - The altitude from A in triangle ABH will be perpendicular to line BH. - The altitude from B will be perpendicular to line AH. - The altitude from H will be perpendicular to line AB. 7. **Identifying C as the Orthocenter**: - For C to be the orthocenter of triangle ABH, the following must hold: - The line from C to AB must be perpendicular to AB. - The line from C to A must be perpendicular to BH. - The line from C to B must be perpendicular to AH. - Since these conditions are satisfied, we conclude that C is indeed the orthocenter of triangle ABH. ### Conclusion: Thus, the answer is that C is the orthocenter of triangle ABH. ---
