The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine what triangle has P as its orthocenter given that PL, QM, and RN are the altitudes of triangle PQR, with O being the orthocenter of triangle PQR. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Orthocenter**: The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes intersect. In triangle PQR, the orthocenter is denoted as O. 2. **Identifying the Altitudes**: The altitudes PL, QM, and RN are drawn from points P, Q, and R respectively, perpendicular to the opposite sides. This means: - PL is the altitude from P to side QR. - QM is the altitude from Q to side PR. - RN is the altitude from R to side PQ. 3. **Finding the Orthocenter of Triangle QRO**: We want to find a triangle where P is the orthocenter. In triangle PQR, since O is the orthocenter, we can consider triangle QRO. 4. **Analyzing Triangle QRO**: In triangle QRO, the altitudes will be: - From Q to side RO. - From R to side QO. - From O to side QR. Since P is outside triangle QRO and is the orthocenter, it means that triangle QRO must be an obtuse triangle, where the orthocenter lies outside the triangle. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the triangle for which P is the orthocenter is triangle QRO. ### Final Answer: P is the orthocenter of triangle QRO.
