The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the point where the perpendiculars drawn from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides meet, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: - Consider a triangle ABC with vertices A, B, and C. 2. **Drawing Perpendiculars**: - From vertex A, draw a perpendicular line to side BC. Let this point of intersection be D. - From vertex B, draw a perpendicular line to side AC. Let this point of intersection be E. - From vertex C, draw a perpendicular line to side AB. Let this point of intersection be F. 3. **Identifying the Intersection Point**: - The three perpendiculars AD, BE, and CF intersect at a single point inside or outside the triangle. 4. **Naming the Point**: - The point where these three perpendiculars meet is called the **Orthocenter** of the triangle. ### Conclusion: Thus, the answer to the question is that the point where the perpendiculars drawn from the vertices to the opposite sides of a triangle meet is called the **Orthocenter**. ---
