Constructing the Orthocenter of a Triangle by Geoff Geltner
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to construct the orthocenter of a triangle using GeoGebra. The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. Commands like Polygon, OrthogonalLine, and Intersect are used to create the orthocenter. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about triangle properties.
