Answer:
Perimeter of the ∆ > sum of lengths of the three altitudes of that same triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider a ∆ABC. And, AD, BE and CF be the altitudes of the triangle from point A, B and C respectively.
From the properties of right angled triangles :
- In a right angled triangle, length of hypotenuse is always greater than the length of any other sides.
Thus, in ∆ADB,
= > AB must be greater than DB
= > AB > AD
Similarly,
= > BC > BE & AC > CF
From above, ( adding all )
= > AB + BC + AC > AD + BE + CF
= > Perimeter of the ∆ > sum of lengths of the three altitudes of that same triangle.
Hence, proved.
