Answer: Orthocenter is the term which describes point V.

Explanation:

We know that in a triangle, when a line that passes through a vertex of the triangle such that it is perpendicular to the opposite side is called an altitude of the triangle.

After that , the point where all three altitudes of the triangle meets is called its orthocenter .

From the given figure , it can be seen that the point V is the intersecting points of all the altitudes of the triangle STU.

Therefore, by the above definition, point V is the orthocenter of the triangle.
