What is the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude extends from a vertex (i.e. corner of the triangle) to the side opposite of it, and is perpendicular either to the side of the triangle, or to its extension. The three altitudes of a triangle are always concurrent (intersect at the same point). This point is known as the orthocenter, and always falls on the Euler Line with the centroid, circumcenter, and the center of the triangle's nine-point circle.
How do you find the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the altitudes in a triangle. A point of concurrency is the intersection of 3 or more lines, rays, segments or planes. The orthocenter is just one point of concurrency in a triangle. The others are the incenter, the circumcenter and the centroid.My daughter's math teacher recommended the following site, which was enormously helpful for her. Here's a link to the 'orthocenter' topic, and you can find a bunch of other math topic videos there. It is all free. Hope it will help.http://www.brightstorm.com/d/math/s/geometry/u/constructions/t/constructing-the-orthocenter
How many of the four centers always remains on or inside a triangle?
incenter and centroid
What is The incenter of a triangle falls outside of its triangle?
The incenter of a triangle is the point at which the 3 medians (lines from the vertex to the middle of the side opposite the vertex) of the triangle intersect. Per it's definition, the incenter cannot ever fall outside the triangle. On the other hand, the orthocenter (intersection of the altitudes) can. It does so whenever the triangle is obtuse.
What triangle has a incenter circumcenter orthocenter and centroid?
Every triangle has an incentre, circumcentre, orthocentre and centroid.
What are the four points of concurrence in a triangle?
Circumcenter, incenter, orthocenter and centroid.

The point of concurrency of the medians of a triangle?
the centroid. here are all the points of concurrency: perpendicular bisector- circumcenter altitudes- orthocenter angle bisector- incenter median- centroid hope that was helpful :)
What is the purpose of an orthocenter?
In short, the orthocenter really has no purpose. There are 4 points of Concurrency in Triangles: 1) The Centroid - the point of concurrency where the 3 medians of a triangle meet. This point is also the triangle's center of gravity. 2) The Circumcenter - the point of concurrency where the perpendicular bisectors of all three sides of the triangle meet. This point is the center of the triangle's circumscribed circle. 3) The Incenter - the point of concurrency where the angle bisectors of all three angles of the triangle meet. Like the circumcenter, the incenter is the center of the inscribed circle of a triangle. 4) The Orthocenter - the point of concurrency where the 3 altitudes of a triangle meet. Unlike the other three points of concurrency, the orthocenter is only there to show that altitudes are concurrent. Thus, bringing me back to the initial statement.
What is the point of concurrency of an altitude of a triangle?
The point of concurrency of the altitudes in a triangle is the orthocenter, while the point of concurrency for the perpendicular bisectors is the centroid/circumcenter. Sorry if this is late! xD
Which best describes the incenter of a triangle?
what is the circumcenter of a triangle
What are the properties of the circumcenter of a triangle?
The circumcenter is equidistant from each vertex of the triangle.The circumcenter is at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides.The circumcenter of a right triangle falls on the side opposite the right angle.The incenter of a triangle is always inside it.The incenter is where all of the bisectors of the angles of the triangle meet.The incenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle
What are the properties of the circumcenter of a traingle?
The circumcenter is equidistant from each vertex of the triangle.The circumcenter is at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides.The circumcenter of a right triangle falls on the side opposite the right angle.The incenter of a triangle is always inside it.The incenter is where all of the bisectors of the angles of the triangle meet.The incenter is equidistant from each side of the triangle
Which center of a triangle is also the center of gravity of the triangle?
orthocenter* * * * *No it is not. It is the centroid - where the medians meet.The centroid.
Does orthocenter and circumcenter fall outside of a triangle?
both
What is the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude extends from a vertex (i.e. corner of the triangle) to the side opposite of it, and is perpendicular either to the side of the triangle, or to its extension. The three altitudes of a triangle are always concurrent (intersect at the same point).
