Objectives

Introduce altitudes of a triangle and their point of concurrence.

Estimated Time

30 minutes

Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any

Types of triangles and concept of altitudes should have been covered.

Materials/ Resources needed

Digital resources: Laptop, geogebra file, projector and a pointer.

Geogebra resources: This geogebra file has been done by ItfC - Edu- Team.
