X(19)
(CLAWSON 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!

This applet was built with the free and multiplatform dynamic geometry software C.a.R..


Information from Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers

Trilinears           tan A : tan B : tan C
                                    = f(A,B,C) : f(B,C,A) : f(C,A,B), where f(A,B,C) = sin 2B + sin 2C - sin 2A
                                    = g(a,b,c) : g(b,c,a) : g(c,a,b), where g(a,b,c) = 1/(b2 + c2 - a2)

Although John Clawson studied this point in 1925, it was studied earlier by Lemoine:

Emile Lemoine, "Quelques questions se rapportant ŕ l'étude des antiparallčles des côtes d'un triangle", Bulletin de la S. M. F., tome 14 (1886), p. 107-128, specifically, on page 114. This article is available online at Numdam.

X(19) lies on these lines:
