What term describes the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect?
It is the orthocentre.
What type of triangle has its orthocenter outside of the triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle is found at the intersection of the three altitudes of the triangle. Obtuse triangles contain altitudes which are found outside of the triangle, meaning their orthocenter must be outside of the triangle as well.
Is the three perpendicular bisector of a triangle intersect at a point in the exterior of the triangle true or false?
The three ANGLE bisectors of a triangle also bisect the sides, and intersect at a point INSIDE the triangle. The angle bisectors are not necessarily perpendicular to them. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides can intersect in a point either inside or outside the triangle, depending on the shape of the triangle.
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.
How many verticals in a triangle?
All triangles have three altitudes.
