question 35 of 45
in the diagram of △ xyz, which term describes point w?
a. centroid
b. incenter
c. orthocenter
d. circumcenter

Explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of intersection of the altitudes of a triangle. In the given diagram, the lines through the vertices perpendicular to the opposite sides (altitudes) intersect at point W. The centroid is the intersection of medians, the incenter is the intersection of angle - bisectors, and the circumcenter is the intersection of perpendicular bisectors of the sides. Here, W is formed by the intersection of altitudes.

Answer:

C. Orthocenter
