X(11)
(FEUERBACH POINT)


Click here to access the list of all triangle centers.

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 Run Macro Tool, select the center name from the list and, then, click on the vertices A, B and C successively.

The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is not enabled in your browser!

Download all construction files and macros: tc.zip (10.1 Mb).
This applet was built with the free and multiplatform dynamic geometry software C.a.R..

Trilinears           1 - cos(B - C) : 1 - cos(C - A) : 1 - cos(A - B)
                                    = f(A,B,C) : f(B,C,A) : f(C,A,B), where f(A,B,C) = sin2(B/2 - C/2)
                                    = g(a,b,c) : g(b,c,a) : g(c,a,b), where g(a,b,c) = bc(b + c - a)(b - c)2

Barycentrics    a(1 - cos(B - C)) : b(1 - cos(C - A)) : c(1 - cos(A - B))
                                    = h(a,b,c) : h(b,c,a) : h(c,a,b), where h(A,B,C) = (b + c - a)(b - c)2

X(11) is the point of tangency of the nine-point circle and the incircle. The nine-point circle is the circumcenter of the medial triangle, as well as the orthic triangle. Feuerbach's famous theorem states that the nine-point circle is tangent to the incircle and the three excircles.

X(11) is the {X(1),X(5)}-harmonic conjugate of X(12).

X(11) lies on these lines:
