In order to draw the altitude from \( G \) , you will need to extend \( \overline { E F } \) . Do this with a dashed line \( ( - \ - \ - ) \) and construct the altitude labeling the new point \( L \) . Do the same thing to \( \overline { F G } \) and construct altitude \( \overline { E H } \) . Identify the orthocenter and label it point \( W \) . What is unique about point \( W ? \) Why do you think this happened?
Question
Answer
The point W is outside the triangle because it is an obtuse triangle.
