Question

I am SO confused. Can someone help me with centroids and orthocenters?
draw a large obtuse scalene triangle. find its orthocenter.

Answer 1

I got that one. I think... I'm still confurse on stuff like this.. find the coordinates of centroid P of triange ABC

A (-1,2) B (5,6) C (5,-2)

Answer 2

Centroids are the center point of the midpoint of a triangle.
For instance:

First, find the midpoint for each of the triangle's sides, then find the shortest line that connects them all.

Answer 3

this is what i got- i just copied it from the book. Im usually pretty good at math, i just don't get this!!!

Answer 4

What you copied from the book is an example of an orthocenter, since the lines are at right angles to the sides and intersect the points of the triangle.

Answer 5

why do these lines go outside the triangle?
