Construction and Demonstration of the Orthocenter of a Triangle

2018-01-12 03:22
This applet demonstrates the geometric construction of a triangle's orthocenter. Using the three vertices, it constructs the three altitudes via orthogonal lines and finds their intersection, the orthocenter. It visually illustrates the orthocenter's properties and its geometric relationships with the triangle's sides and vertices, ideal for teaching special points in plane geometry.
