The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since?
The orthocenter is the point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect. An orthocenter lies outside of a triangle only when the triangle is obtuse. If a triangle is acute, the orthocenter lies inside of the triangle.
How do you find orthocenter?
You find the orthocenter by constructing the altitudes from the vertices in a triangle. If the triangle is obtuse, the orthocenter will fall outside the triangle. If the triangle is acute, the orthocenter will fall on the inside of the triangle. If the triangle is a right triangle, the orthocenter will lie on a vertix.
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the?
Not normally
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the altitude may not intersect any side of the triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because an altitude does not necessarily intersect the sides of the triangle.
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because an altitude does not necessarily intersect the of the 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!
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle because the altitude does not necessairly intersect the of the triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle may lie outside the triangle since the ___altitude___ may not intersect any side of the triangle. * * * * * No. One of the altitudes must intersect the side opposite it and so it is not correct to say ANY side of the triangle.
What are the characteristics of orthocenter?
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the altitudes of the triangle intersect. It may lie inside, outside, or on the triangle depending on the type of triangle. In an acute triangle, the orthocenter lies inside the triangle; in a right triangle, it is at the vertex opposite the right angle; and in an obtuse triangle, it is outside the triangle.

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
What is the answer to the euler line segment conjecture?
The centroid, circumcenter and orthocenter are the 3 points of concurrency that always lie on a line.
Can a circumcenter lie outside the triangle?
Yes, it can.
Will the altitude always lie in the interior of a triangle?
No.
