- AOn the circumcircle of triangle ABC
- BOn the incircle of triangle ABC
- CAt the orthocentre of triangle ABC
- DOn the line joining the centroid to the orthocentre
Step-by-Step Solution
The three feet are collinear exactly when P lies on the circumcircle, and the line they form is the Simson line of P. One easy check on the claim: take P to be the vertex A itself, which is certainly on the circumcircle — then two of the feet collapse onto A and the third is the foot of the altitude from A, so the three points are trivially in a line. The incircle has no such property; the orthocentre gives the three altitude feet, which form the orthic TRIANGLE and are definitely not collinear; and the line through the centroid and orthocentre is the Euler line, a different object altogether.
Answer: A) On the circumcircle of triangle ABC
