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.
The common point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is called the?
circumcenter
In which triangle do the three altitudes intersect outside the triangle?
Obtuse Triangle
If orthocentre and circumcentre of a triangle coincide then is it an equilateral triangle?
Yes. The orthocenter is the intersection of the altitudes; the circumcenter is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle. The perpendicular bisector of and altitude to a given side are parallel, so they can coincide at the common center only if they are the same; that means that the opposite vertex is on the perpendicular bisector, so the other two sides are equal. Thus each pair of sides are equal, so the triangle is equilateral.
Why the centroids of the triangle coincide with the intersection of its medians?
A triangle has only one centroid (so not centroids) and it is the intersection of its medians by definition.A triangle has only one centroid (so not centroids) and it is the intersection of its medians by definition.A triangle has only one centroid (so not centroids) and it is the intersection of its medians by definition.A triangle has only one centroid (so not centroids) and it is the intersection of its medians by definition.
