The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following points is not always inside a triangle, we will analyze the four options provided: in-center, centroid, orthocenter, and circumcenter. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - **In-center**: The point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. It is always located inside the triangle. - **Centroid**: The point where the medians of a triangle intersect. It is also always located inside the triangle. - **Orthocenter**: The point where the altitudes of a triangle intersect. This point can be located inside or outside the triangle depending on the type of triangle. - **Circumcenter**: The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect. This point can also be inside or outside the triangle. 2. **Analyze the Orthocenter**: - In an **acute triangle**, the orthocenter lies inside the triangle. - In a **right triangle**, the orthocenter lies on the triangle. - In an **obtuse triangle**, the orthocenter lies outside the triangle. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the orthocenter can lie outside the triangle in the case of an obtuse triangle, it is the only point among the options that is not always inside the triangle. ### Final Answer: The point that is not always inside a triangle is the **orthocenter**. ---
