Which is the point of concurrency of the altitudes of a triangle?
orthocenter
What is the point of concurrency of the altituded of a triangle is called?
the orthocenter
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.
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.
When is the point of concurrency outside a triangle?
When you have and obtuse triangle and you are trying to find the Orthocenter
