Can the altitudes of a right triangle intersect in the interior of the triangle?
No. Only 2 altitudes can intersect at a point. * * * * * True but even they do not meet in the interior. The altitudes of a right angles triangle meet at the right angled vertex. The vertex is at the boundary of the triangle, not in the interior.
What is meant by the orthcentre of a triangle?
The 'orthcentre' of a triangle is at the point where the 3 perpendicular altitudes intersect within the triangle.
What do you call the intersection of the 3 altitudes of a trialgle?
The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect is called the orthocenter. This can be located either inside or outside of the triangle.
What is the orthocenter of a triangle?
The orthocenter of a triangle is the point where the three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude extends from a vertex (i.e. corner of the triangle) to the side opposite of it, and is perpendicular either to the side of the triangle, or to its extension. The three altitudes of a triangle are always concurrent (intersect at the same point). This point is known as the orthocenter, and always falls on the Euler Line with the centroid, circumcenter, and the center of the triangle's nine-point circle.
Where do the altitudes of an acute triangle intersect?
At the orthocentre which is in the interior of the triangle.
Which terms describes the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect?
The altitudes of a triangle intersect at a point called the Orthocentre.Note : This is often stated as, "The altitudes are concurrent at a point called the Orthocentre."
Can the altitudes of a right triangle intersect in the interior of the triangle?
No. Only 2 altitudes can intersect at a point. * * * * * True but even they do not meet in the interior. The altitudes of a right angles triangle meet at the right angled vertex. The vertex is at the boundary of the triangle, not in the interior.
What is the point where three altitudes of a triangle intersect?
I think it is the vertex. * * * * * No. It is the orthocentre.
What term describes the point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect?
It is the orthocentre.
What is meant by the orthcentre of a triangle?
The 'orthcentre' of a triangle is at the point where the 3 perpendicular altitudes intersect within the triangle.
Which best describes the orthocenter of a triangle?

Does three altitudes of a triangle intersect at a vertex always never or sometimes?
Always for it to be a complete triangle with three altitudes it would have to intersect at a vertex.
In which triangle do the three altitudes intersect outside of the triangle?
Obtuse Triangle
In which triangle do the three altitudes intersect outside the triangle?
Obtuse Triangle
Where do the altitudes of an acute triangle intersect?
At the orthocentre which is in the interior of the triangle.
