9. Step 1:

In, use A as a centre to draw an arc on BC that meets the opposite side at P and Q respectively.

Step 2:

Use P and Q as centres with equal radii to draw 2 arcs on a side of BC at R. Join AR which is an altitude of the triangle.

Step 3:

Repeat the previous steps with B and C as centres to draw the remaining 2 altitudes of.

The point of intersection of the 3 altitudes is the orthocentre of the triangle.
