Sahil draws triangle ABC and from vertex A he draws the altitude. The foot of this altitude lands OUTSIDE segment BC, on the extension beyond B. What does this tell you about angle B?

Question

Accepted Answer

Angle B is obtuse (more than 90°). When the foot of an altitude falls outside the side on the extension beyond B, the angle at B is obtuse.
