To construct the altitude from vertex A to side 11ebfb55_24b2_ee28_9d86_0394c70248de_TBX8811_11 of an obtuse triangle, one first constructs the midpoint of the opposite side (in this case, side 11ebfb55_24b2_ee29_9d86_47f337a232ca_TBX8811_11) and then draws the perpendicular line from vertex A to that midpoint. Therefore, the statement is true.
