This example demonstrates the construction of an orthic triangle within a triangle containing a 120-degree angle. Key mathematical concepts include the orthocenter, trigonometric functions, plane figures, circles, and vectors. The construction utilizes GeoGebra commands such as Rotate, CircumcircleArc, Point, Segment, OrthogonalLine, Intersect, Ray, Polygon, Circle, Angle, and Midpoint. It is suitable for high school mathematics education or for geometry enthusiasts exploring triangle properties.
