The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the type of triangle in which the orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid all coincide at a single point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Key Points in a Triangle**: - **Orthocenter**: The point where the three altitudes of a triangle intersect. - **Circumcenter**: The point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle intersect. - **Incenter**: The point where the angle bisectors of a triangle intersect. - **Centroid**: The point where the three medians of a triangle intersect. 2. **Analyzing the Coincidence of Points**: - In a general triangle, these four points do not coincide. They are distinct and have specific properties related to the triangle's shape and angles. - However, there is a special case where all these points coincide at one point. 3. **Identifying the Special Triangle**: - The only type of triangle where the orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid all coincide is the **equilateral triangle**. - In an equilateral triangle, all sides and angles are equal, which leads to the coincidence of these points. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the triangle in which the orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid coincide at a point is known as an **equilateral triangle**. ### Final Answer: The triangle in which the orthocenter, circumcenter, incenter, and centroid coincide at a point is known as an **equilateral triangle**. ---
