Altitude and Orthocenter
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the altitudes and orthocenter of a triangle. The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Point, Polygon, Distance, and OrthogonalLine, this construction dynamically illustrates the properties of the orthocenter. Suitable for middle school and above students to study triangle geometry.
