It seems like there may be some language translation issues in this problem. What are heights and altitudes in the context of triangles? Are these supposed to be lengths and angles?

Height and altitude are the same thing - the altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular from the base to the opposite vertex.

I did not understand this question. Diagrams please?

Attached figure for your reference. Notice that height AD lies outside the obtuse angled triangle ABC.
