They can only intersect at the circumcentre, which is a point outside the triangle, beyond the side opposite the obtuse angle.

Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
Do the three altitudes of an obtuse triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No.
Does the altitude of a triangle fall outside the triangle?
In an obtuse angled triangle, two of them will.
What kind of triangle is a triangle which contains one obtuse angle?
any triangle can contain at most 1 obtuse angle. it is called an obtuse triangle.
How do you calculate area of obtuse triangle?
Area = 0.5*base*altitude
Does the altitude of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No. Not if the triangle is right angled (the intersection is AT the right vertex) or obtuse angled (intersection outside).
Where is the obtuse triangle can be intersect?
Anywhere.
In which triangle do the three altitudes intersect outside of the triangle?
Obtuse Triangle
In which triangle do the three altitudes intersect outside the triangle?
Obtuse Triangle
Where can the lines containing the atitudes of an obtuse triangle intersect?
They intersect at the circumcentre.
Do the three altitudes of an obtuse triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No.
Where can the bisectors of the angles of an obtuse triangle intersect?
inside the triangle ;) hope this helps!!
Does the altitude of a triangle fall outside the triangle?
In an obtuse angled triangle, two of them will.
Will the medians of an obtuse triangle ever intersect on the triangle?
Yes. Medians always intersect in a single point, called the centroid, or geocenter.
What kind of triangle is a triangle which contains one obtuse angle?
any triangle can contain at most 1 obtuse angle. it is called an obtuse triangle.
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the may not intersect any side of the triangle?
True for an obtuse triangle!
How do you calculate area of obtuse triangle?
Area = 0.5*base*altitude
