Is this statement true or falseAltitudes of a triangle meet at a point of concurrency called the orthocenter?
true
Can the altitudes of a right triangle intersect in the interior of the triangle?
No. Only 2 altitudes can intersect at a point. * * * * * True but even they do not meet in the interior. The altitudes of a right angles triangle meet at the right angled vertex. The vertex is at the boundary of the triangle, not in the interior.
Can an angle bisector of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
The angle bisectors always intersect inside the triangle. (This is not true for altitudes and right bisectors.)
Is it true that the point of concurrency of any triangle only happens inside the triangle?
Depends on the point of concurrency of what. The point of concurrency of altitudes will be outside in any obtuse triangle.
What is the point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle?
The point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle is the center of the triangle. The center of the triangle is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle. The medians of a triangle are the line segments that join the vertices of the triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides.
True or false The orthocenter is the point shared by the altitudes of a triangle?
true
Which statement about an altitude of a triangle is always true?
An altitude intersects another altitude at the centroid. FALSE - The altitudes intersect at what is called the orthocenter.An altitude intersects another altitude at its midpoint. FALSE - The altitudes will meet at random intersection points.An altitude is present inside a triangle FALSE - The altitude can be outside the triangle.An altitude makes a right angle with a side of the triangle. TRUE - An altitude is the line from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.
Is this statement true or falseAltitudes of a triangle meet at a point of concurrency called the orthocenter?
true
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!
Can the altitudes of a right triangle intersect in the interior of the triangle?
No. Only 2 altitudes can intersect at a point. * * * * * True but even they do not meet in the interior. The altitudes of a right angles triangle meet at the right angled vertex. The vertex is at the boundary of the triangle, not in the interior.
Is the altitudes or every right triangle is one of its legs?
true
Can an angle bisector of a triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
The angle bisectors always intersect inside the triangle. (This is not true for altitudes and right bisectors.)

What is the point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle?
The point equidistant from the three sides of a triangle is the center of the triangle. The center of the triangle is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle. The medians of a triangle are the line segments that join the vertices of the triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides.
Are altitudes and medians congruent in the same isosceles triangle?
The altitude for the unequal side is also the corresponding median. This is only true for that one side.
In general what true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
Is it true that boiling point remain constant in all altitudes?
No, the boiling point decrease at high altitudes.
