What will not fall outside a triangle?

Its "incenter" will not fall outside the triangle, or outside the base of the triangle.


Can the altitude of a triangle fall out the triangle?

Yes its perpendicular height or altitude is sometimes calculated out side the triangle depending on its shape.


The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the altitude may not intersect any side of the triangle?

The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because an altitude does not necessarily intersect the sides of the triangle.


How do you find the altitude outside of a triangle?

The altitude of a triangle is the distance from the line containing the base to the vertex. Draw the base and continue on outside of the triangle. Measure perpendicular from that line to the vertex.


What can fall outside a triangle?

Every point in the plane outside the triangle can fall there!


Is an altitude ever outside a triangle?

Sure. If one of the base angles is more than 90 degrees, then the altitude (height) is outside the triangle. Yes. This only occurs with an obtuse triangle. Because an altitude is a line drawn from a vertex to the opposite side and is perpendicular with that opposite side, it can only occur if it is outside the triangle. Look at the triangle in related links. If you look at the vertex on the top, the only way to draw the altitude would be to draw outside the triangle.
