This example demonstrates the orthocenter of a triangle, which is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. Using GeoGebra commands such as Random, RandomElement, Textfield, TableText, and Polygon, the example dynamically shows the properties of the orthocenter. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
