The lines containing the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent at this point?

The point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect is called the orthocenter. This point is concurrent, meaning the three altitudes intersect at this single point inside or outside the triangle. The orthocenter is different from the centroid, circumcenter, and incenter of a triangle.


What is the point of concurrency of the lines containing the altitudes?

Orthocenter


What is the point of concurrency of lines containing the altitudes?

It is called the The circumcentre.


How do you get the center of a triangle?

Bisect two of the angles. The intersection of the resulting lines is the triangle's centre.


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.


Are the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle concurrent?

Yes. They meet at the orthocentre.


Are the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are parallel?

No, they meet at a single point.


The orthocenter is the point shared by the angle bisector of a triangle?

Actually, the orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. The altitudes are perpendicular lines drawn from each vertex to the opposite side. The angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at the incenter, not the orthocenter.


In geometry what do you call the intersection among the altitude of a triangle?

Such a point is called the orthocenter. Even the fact that all three altitudes intersect at a point is quite interesting because only two lines are guaranteed to intersect at a point, but we have three.


How do you verify that a triangle is isosceles?

The step to verify an isosceles triangle is: 1) Find the intersection points of the lines. 2) Find the distance for each intersection points. 3) If 2 of the distance are the same then it is an isosceles triangle.


Where can the lines containing the atitudes of an obtuse triangle intersect?

They intersect at the circumcentre.


what- A triangle is formed by the intersection of the lines y = 2x + 4, y = -x – 2, and x = 1.Is the triangle equilateral, isosceles, or scalene Graph the lines on grid paper to find the vertices of the triangle?

scalene
