Every triangle has an incentre, circumcentre, orthocentre and centroid.

the centroid. here are all the points of concurrency: perpendicular bisector- circumcenter altitudes- orthocenter angle bisector- incenter median- centroid hope that was helpful :)
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 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
