What is the point of concurrency is the center of gravity in a triangle?
It is the centroid - the point at which the medians meet.
Point of intersection of medians in a triangle?
The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect is called the centroid of the triangle.
What is the point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle is called the?
the point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocenter.
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 the three altitudes of a triangle called?
the point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocenter.
