Interactive Applet |
You can move the points A, B and C (click on the point and drag it).
Press the keys “+” and “−” to zoom in or zoom out the visualization window and use the arrow keys to translate it.
You can also construct all centers related with this one (as described in ETC) using the “Run Macro Tool”. To do this, click on the icon , select the center name from the list and, then, click on the vertices A, B and C successively.

Trilinears cos(B - C) : cos(C - A) : cos(A - B)
= f(A,B,C) : f(B,C,A) : f(C,A,B), where f(A,B,C) = cos A + 2 cos B cos C
= g(A,B,C) : g(B,C,A) : g(C,A,B), where g(A,B,C) = cos A - 2 sin B sin C
= h(a,b,c) : h(b,c,a): h(c,a,b), where h(a,b,c) = bc[a2(b2 + c2) - (b2 - c2)2]Barycentrics a cos(B - C) : b cos(C - A) : c cos(A - B)
= h(a,b,c) : h(b,c,a) : h(c,a,b), where h(a,b,c) = a2(b2 + c2) - (b2 - c2)2X(5) is the center of the nine-point circle. Euler showed in that this circle passes through the midpoints of the sides of ABC and the feet of the altitudes of ABC, hence six of the nine points. The other three are the midpoints of segments A-to-X(4), B-to-X(4), C-to-X(4). The radius of the nine-point circle is one-half the circumradius.
