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.)


Where is the orthocenter of a right triangle located?

Well, honey, the orthocenter of a right triangle is where all three altitudes intersect. In the case of a right triangle, the orthocenter coincides with one of the vertices, specifically the right angle vertex. So, grab your ruler and draw those altitudes to find that sassy orthocenter right at the corner of the right angle.


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.


Does every triangle have three altitudes?

Yes, except that with a right angled triangle, two of the altitudes will also be the sides of the triangle.


What are lines that intersect to form a right triangle?

Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles.


Do the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle always sometimes or never intersect on the triangle?

The perpendicular bisectors only intersect on the triangle when it is an isosceles right triangle.


Do the altidudes of a triangle always meet in the interior of the triangle?

In a obtuse triangle, the point of concurrency, where multiple lines meet, of the altitudes, called the orthocenter, is outside the triangle. In a right angle, the orthocenter lies on the vertex (corner) of the right angle. In an acute angle, the orthocenter lies inside the triangle.


Where can the bisect it's of angles of an right triangle intersect?

As with any triangle, inside the triangle.


Are the legs of a right triangle called altitudes?

Although they are altitudes, they are normally called the legs.


What is the name of a triangle which has a right interior angle?

How did the orthocenter of a triangle get its name?

Oh, dude, the orthocenter of a triangle got its name because it's where the altitudes of the triangle intersect. It's like the center of gravity for altitudes, you know? So, "ortho" means perpendicular in Greek, and since the altitudes are perpendicular to the sides of the triangle, they just called it the orthocenter. Cool, right?


What kind of triangle do the perpendicular bisectors intersect in a point outside the triangle?
