Altitudes meet at the vertex, so orthocenter located on the _____ of the right triangle.

Solution
The correct option is D vertex
Since two of the sides of a right triangle already sit at right angles to one another, the altitude of the third angle i.e the one opposite to the hypotenuse, runs through the same intersection point. So, orthocenter of the right triangle is where those two sides intersect to form a right angle i.e. vertex.
Thus, Altitudes meet at the vertex, so orthocenter located on the vertex of the right triangle.Hence, option C is correct.
