Orthocenter Outside the Obtuse Triangle problems

Centroid Circumcenter Incenter Orthocenter properties example question

In the following video you will learn how to find the coordinates of the Orthocenter located outside the triangle in the standard xy-plane (also known as coordinate plane or Cartesian plane). In acute and right triangles, the Orthocenter does not fall outside of the triangle. However,  when the triangle in question is obtuse, that is, when one of its interior angles measures more than 90 degrees – the Orthocenter will be located outside the triangle. This is when you will need to understand the technique used to find its coordinates.

 

Solution to this Orthocenter in Obtuse Triangle Geometry practice problem is provided in the video below!
