Where is the orthocenter on an obtuse triangle?
An orthocenter on an obtuse triangle actually lies outside of the triangle. In an acute triangle, the orthocenter lies within the triangle.
When is the point of concurrency outside a triangle?
When you have and obtuse triangle and you are trying to find the Orthocenter
Where can the orthocenter be found in relation to the triangle?
inside-acute,on the triangle-right,outside-obtuse
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.
In which type of triangle does a orthocenter of the triangle fall outside the triangle?
Obtuse triangle! To make this happen the altitude lines have to be extended so they cross.Hope this helps!
