Constructing the Orthocenter of a Triangle
2018-09-06 01:47
This applet demonstrates how to construct the orthocenter of a given triangle. By defining the three vertices, orthogonal lines (altitudes) are drawn to each side. The intersection of these altitudes determines the orthocenter, providing a visual and interactive way to understand the geometric property that the three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent.
