Orthocenter

The orthocenter of a triangle, usually denoted by H, is the point where the three (possibly extended) altitudes intersect. The orthocenter lies inside the triangle if and only if the triangle is acute. For a right triangle, the orthocenter coincides with the vertex at the right angle. For an equilateral triangle, all triangle centers (including the orthocenter) coincide at its centroid.
