Constructing the Orthocenters and Centroids of Triangles

Construct:


  1. the orthocenter of an acute scalene triangle

  2. the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle

  3. the orthocenter of a right triangle

  4. the centroid of acute scalene triangle

  5. the centroid of of an obtuse triangle

  6. the centroid of a right triangle

  7. circumscribe a circle about an acute triangle

  8. circusmscribe a circle about an obtuse triangle

  9. inscribe a circle in an acute triangle (remember, you MUST construct a perpendicular from the incenter to any side (preferably the longest side) of a triangle first BEFORE you can inscribe a circle!!!!)

  10. inscribe a circle in an obtuse triangle
