In the construction of orthocentre to the triangle, the following steps are to be followed

  • Find the perpendicular from any two vertices to the opposite sides.
  • To draw the perpendicular or the altitude, use vertex C as the center and radius equal to the side BC. Draw arcs on the opposite sides AB and AC.
  • ?
  • Similarly, draw intersecting arcs from points C and E, at G. Join BG.
  • CF and BG are altitudes or perpendiculars for the sides AB and AC respectively.
  • The intersection point of any two altitudes of a triangle gives the orthocenter.
  • Thus, find the point of intersection of the two altitudes.
  • At that point, H is referred to as the orthocenter of the triangle.
