question #25 orthocenter

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first, we can draw such triangle

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next the definition of orthocenter is: "the intersection point of the three heights of the triangle"

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please keep in mind that \(BC=6\) units, and \(AC=6\) units, so we have an isosceles right triangle

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

ok

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, what is the orthocenter?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i dont understand the heights of the points how od i get that

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please look at this drawing: |dw:1452202424223:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what is the height with respect to BC?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

-3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please I mean the geometrical entity

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it the segment AC?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

the height would be AC so 6

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! Nevertheless, the measure is not important Now, similarly, what is the height with respect to AC ?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

i dont understand what your asking

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I mean the segment perpendicular to AC and which passes at point B

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

|dw:1452202922362:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is it the segment BC ?

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

yes that would be perpendicular to AC

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! |dw:1452203019996:dw|
