Orthocenter and Altitude Construction Puzzles
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the orthocenter and altitude construction of a right triangle. The orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. Using the GeoGebra command Segment, the altitudes of the triangle can be constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about triangle properties and geometric constructions.
