How to Find the orthocenter of a Triangle 

The orthocenter of a triangle is where all of the altitudes of a triangle meet each other.

The altitude is a perpendicular line segment from a vertex of a triangle to the opposite side (Vertex A to side BC).

To draw the orthocenter, first You draw the triangle on a coordinate plane and draw all three altitudes (one from each vertex of the triangle) and determine the point at which they all intersect. This intersection is a orthocenter of a Triangle ABC.

step by step solution substitution method

Substitution Method

 

Calculate value of x and y: Equations are y-x = 3 and 2(x + y) = 14


Solution:
In substitution method, we have a given equation of two variables, x and y.
First, divide in second equation by 2 in both sides.
x + y = 4 …. (1)
y – x = 3 => y = x + 3 ….(2)
Now, put the value of y in equation 1 and solve the equation for x, i.e
x + (x + 3) = 4
x + x + 3 = 4
2x = 4 –3
which gives x = 1/2.

Now, substitute x = 1/2 in any one of the given equation and find the value of y
y = 1/2 + 3
y = 7/2
Answer is : x = 1/2, y = 7/2
