H is the orthocenter of an acute triangle ABC whose circumcircle is +=16. Find the circumdiameter of triangle HBC.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The given circle has circumradius R=4. In the orthocentric configuration, the circumcircle of HBC has the same radius R as ABC: HC=2R cos C and =90°-C, so 2R_HBC=HC/sin(90°-C)=2R=8.
