The correct Answer is:
To find the orthocenter of the triangle with vertices at (0,0), (3,0), and (0,4), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the vertices of the triangle The vertices of the triangle are: - A = (0, 0) - B = (3, 0) - C = (0, 4) ### Step 2: Determine the type of triangle We can observe that the triangle formed by these points is a right triangle. The right angle is at vertex A (0, 0), as the sides AB and AC are perpendicular to each other. ### Step 3: Understand the property of the orthocenter in a right triangle In a right triangle, the orthocenter is located at the vertex where the right angle is. This is a special property of right triangles. ### Step 4: Identify the orthocenter Since the right angle is at vertex A (0, 0), the orthocenter of the triangle is also at point A. ### Conclusion Thus, the orthocenter of the triangle with vertices (0,0), (3,0), and (0,4) is at the point (0, 0). ### Final Answer The orthocenter is at (0, 0). ---
