Question

Draw and locate the Orthocentre of a right triangle PQR where PQ = 4.5 cm, QR = 6 cm and PR = 7.5 cm

Answer 1

Steps for construction:

Step 1: Draw the ΔPQR with the given measures.

Step 2: Construct altitude from any two vertices Q and R to their opposite side PR and PQ respectively.

Step 3: The point of intersection of the altitude H is the orthocentre of the given ΔPQR.
