Its at the point where the three perpendicular lines in a triangle drawn from each vertex intersect.

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.
An orthocenter on an obtuse triangle actually lies outside of the triangle. In an acute triangle, the orthocenter lies within the triangle.
ORTHOCENTER
Construct a scalene triangle and then from each of its vertices draw a straight line that is perpendicular to its opposite side and where these 3 straight lines intersect it is the orthocenter of the triangle. The position of the orthocenter can vary depending on what type of triangle it.

Hi,The orthocenter in an obtuse triangle is outside. To make this happen the altitude lines have to be extended so they cross.Hope this answers your question!
