What are the special points in triangle?
The Orthocenter The Centroid The Circumcenter The Incenter >.> 'nuff said
Can the orthocenter incenter centroid and circumcenter of a triangle all meet at the same point?
Yes, but only in an equilateral triangle.
Name the 4 points of concurrence in triangles?
When three or more lines intersect at one point, then they are considered concurrent.The four points of concurrence in triangles are the circumcenter, incenter, centroid, and orthocenter.
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.
How do you find the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the altitudes in a triangle. A point of concurrency is the intersection of 3 or more lines, rays, segments or planes. The orthocenter is just one point of concurrency in a triangle. The others are the incenter, the circumcenter and the centroid.My daughter's math teacher recommended the following site, which was enormously helpful for her. Here's a link to the 'orthocenter' topic, and you can find a bunch of other math topic videos there. It is all free. Hope it will help.http://www.brightstorm.com/d/math/s/geometry/u/constructions/t/constructing-the-orthocenter
