Draw a line perpendicular to the horizon axis, that goes from the top vertex, to a line that is the continuation of the base.

The common point of concurrency altitudes of a triangle?

the side/angle that is across from an angle or side. the opposite side or angle does not touch the what it is opposite from


Is it possible to sketch a triangle in which exactly one of the altitudes is outside the triangle?

no; a triangle must have an obtuse angle if one of its altitudes is outside of the triangle, and in this case 2 of the altitudes are out of the triangle.


What kind of triangle has three angle bisectors that are also altitudes and medians?

Equilateral


Where is the orthocenter of a right triangle located?

Well, honey, the orthocenter of a right triangle is where all three altitudes intersect. In the case of a right triangle, the orthocenter coincides with one of the vertices, specifically the right angle vertex. So, grab your ruler and draw those altitudes to find that sassy orthocenter right at the corner of the right angle.


The orthocenter is the point shared by the angle bisector of a triangle?

Actually, the orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. The altitudes are perpendicular lines drawn from each vertex to the opposite side. The angle bisectors of a triangle intersect at the incenter, not the orthocenter.


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.)

Which statement about an altitude of a triangle is always true?

An altitude intersects another altitude at the centroid. FALSE - The altitudes intersect at what is called the orthocenter.An altitude intersects another altitude at its midpoint. FALSE - The altitudes will meet at random intersection points.An altitude is present inside a triangle FALSE - The altitude can be outside the triangle.An altitude makes a right angle with a side of the triangle. TRUE - An altitude is the line from a vertex to the opposite side, forming a right angle.
