Steps:<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>
Let be a triangle.
The altitudes and intersect at .
We will show that also is perpendicular to , i.e. that it is an altitude of .
• The quadrilateral is cyclic, because .So, also (as angles subtended by the same arc).
• The quadrilateral is cyclic because opposite angles and are supplementary (since ). So, angles and are equal.
• The angles and are equal as vertical angles, i.e. . In the right triangle , we have that , therefore in the triangle it holds that .
We conclude that the three altitudes pass through the same point.
