Please, remember the definition of orthocenter of a triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

According to Google: The three altitudes intersect in a single point, called the orthocenter of the triangle. The orthocenter lies inside the triangle if and only if the triangle is acute

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Ok! now you have two lines, at whici point, those lines intersect each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1, 0? I'm not really good at Geometry. :(

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Ok!, now there is a theorem, which states that the third altitude must pass at that point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the answer @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Yes!

Ok thank You!
