KVPY2012MathematicsProperties of Triangles
Let H be the orthocenter of an acute - angled triangle ABC and O be its circumcenter. Then HA + HB + HC
Options
- Ais equal to HO
- Bis equal to 3 HO
- Cis equal to 2 HO
- Dis not a scalar multiple of HO in general
Correct answer
C. is equal to 2 HO
Step-by-step solution
G is centroid array l G = A + B + C 3 G = 20+ H 3 2 O + H =3 G HA + HB + HC = A - H + B - H + C - H = A + B + C -3 H =3 G -3 H =2 O + H -3 H =2 O -2 H =2 HO array
