How to construct the Orthocenter of a Triangle?
The orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the altitudes in a triangle. A point of concurrency is the intersection of 3 or more lines, rays, segments or planes. The orthocenter is just one point of concurrency in a triangle. The others are the incenter, the circumcenter and the centroid.
This video demonstrates how to construct the orthocenter of a large scalene triangle using a compass and straightedge.
