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.
What is meant by the orthcentre of a triangle?
The 'orthcentre' of a triangle is at the point where the 3 perpendicular altitudes intersect within the triangle.
What do you call the intersection of the 3 altitudes of a trialgle?
The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect is called the orthocenter. This can be located either inside or outside of the triangle.
What is the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude extends from a vertex (i.e. corner of the triangle) to the side opposite of it, and is perpendicular either to the side of the triangle, or to its extension. The three altitudes of a triangle are always concurrent (intersect at the same point). This point is known as the orthocenter, and always falls on the Euler Line with the centroid, circumcenter, and the center of the triangle's nine-point circle.
Where do the altitudes of an acute triangle intersect?
At the orthocentre which is in the interior of the triangle.
