Answer:

orthocenter

Explanation:

The red segment is an altitude of the triangle, as are the two legs. The intersection point of the altitudes is the orthocenter.

__

This is basically a vocabulary question.

  • altitude - the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side (or its extension)
  • median - the segment joining a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side
  • centroid - the point where medians meet
  • orthocenter - the point where altitudes meet
