This example demonstrates the altitudes of a triangle. It involves the geometric properties of triangles, particularly the concept of altitudes. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, OrthogonalLine, Intersect, Segment, Angle, and Line, the altitudes of a triangle can be constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about triangle properties and geometric construction.
