Altitudes and Orthocentres
The Problem :
Using
Cabri-G�om�trie, or Geometers� SketchPad, construct a circle of
convenient size and then a triangle whose vertices lie on the circumference of
the circle. Find the meeting point of two altitudes of the triangle.
�
What is the locus of this point of intersection as one of
the vertices moves around the circumference of the circle?
[Definition
: an altitude is a perpendicular drawn from one vertex to the opposite
edge] �
