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 csc(A + π/3) : csc(B + π/3) : csc(C + π/3)
= sec(A - π/6) : sec(B - π/6) : sec(C - π/6)Barycentrics f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b), where
f(a,b,c) = a4 - 2(b2 - c2)2 + a2(b2 + c2 + 4*sqrt(3)*Area(ABC))Construct the equilateral triangle BA'C having base BC and vertex A' on the negative side of BC; similarly construct equilateral triangles CB'A and AC'B based on the other two sides. The lines AA',BB',CC' concur in X(13). If each of the angles A, B, C is < 2*π/3, then X(13) is the only center X for which the angles BXC, CXA, AXB are equal, and X(13) minimizes the sum |AX| + |BX| + |CX|. The antipedal triangle of X(13) is equilateral.

X(13) lies on these lines:

X(13) = reflection of X(I) in X(J) for these (I,J): (14,115), (15,396), (99,619), (298,623), (616,618)
X(13) = isogonal conjugate of X(15)
X(13) = isotomic conjugate of X(298)
X(13) = inverse-in-orthocentroidal-circle of X(14)
X(13) = complement of X(616)
X(13) = anticomplement of X(618)
X(13) = cevapoint of X(15) and X(62)
X(13) = X(I)-cross conjugate of X(J) for these (I,J): (15,18), (30,14), (396,2)
