Let us begin Assignment #8 with the construction of triangle ABC.

Now we will construct the Orthocenter H of triangle ABC.

Now let us view the contruction of triangle HBC and its orthocenter.

The Orthocenter of triangle HBC lies on Point A of the original triangle ABC. Explore further with GSP Triangle HBC.gsp

We will continue our exploration with the construction of the Orthocenter for triangle HAB (which is at point C)

and triangle HAC (which is at Point B).

Now we will construct the circumcircles of triangles ABC, HBC, HAB, and HAC.

R is the circumcenter of triangle ABC.

S is the circumcenter of triangle HBC. It lies along the midpoint of line BC and the circumcenter of triangle ABC which is point R.

T is the circumcenter of triangle HAB. It lies along the line of the midpoint of line AB and the circumcenter of triangle ABC which is Point R.

U is the circumcenter of triangle HAC. U lies along the midpoint of line AC and Point R.

We will continue with Assignment #8 by using various links and constructions.

 Now let's construct the nine point circle for triangles ABC, HBC, HAC, and HAB. Nine Point Circles
