WHAT DOES ORTHOCENTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Altitude (triangle)

An altitude is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to its opposite side. In geometry, an altitude of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base. This line containing the opposite side is called the extended base of the altitude. The intersection between the extended base and the altitude is called the foot of the altitude. The length of the altitude, often simply called the altitude, is the distance between the base and the vertex. The process of drawing the altitude from the vertex to the foot is known as dropping the altitude of that vertex. It is a special case of orthogonal projection. Altitudes can be used to compute the area of a triangle: one half of the product of an altitude's length and its base's length equals the triangle's area. Thus the longest altitude is perpendicular to the shortest side of the triangle. The altitudes are also related to the sides of the triangle through the trigonometric functions. In an isosceles triangle, the altitude having the incongruent side as its base will have the midpoint of that side as its foot.
