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.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. OrthogonalLine(C, c) → d
  3. OrthogonalLine(A, a) → e
  4. OrthogonalLine(B, b) → f
  5. Intersect(d, e) → D
