The point where the altitudes of the triangle intersect?
the point where the altitudes intersect is called the orthocenter.
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.
Do the three altitudes of an obtuse triangle always intersect inside the triangle?
No.
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.
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.)
