X(26)
(CIRCUMCENTER OF THE TANGENTIAL TRIANGLE)


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           f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b), where f(a,b,c) = a[b2cos 2B + c2cos 2C - a2cos 2A]
                                    Trilinears            g(a,b,c) : g(b,c,a) : g(c,a,b), where g(a,b,c) = (J2 - 3) cos A + 4 cos B cos C, where J is as at X(1113)

Barycentrics    h(a,b,c) : h(b,c,a) : h(c,a,b), where h(a,b,c) = a2(b2cos 2B + c2cos 2C - a2cos 2A)

Theorems involving X(26), published in 1889 by A. Gob, are discussed in
Roger A. Johnson, Advanced Euclidean Geometry, Dover, 1960, 259-260.

X(26) lies on these lines: 2,3    6,143    52,184    68,161    98,1286    154,155    206,511    1605,1607    1606,1608

X(26) is the {X(154),X(155)}-harmonic conjugate of X(156).

X(26) = reflection of X(155) in X(156)
X(26) = isogonal conjugate of X(70)
X(26) = inverse-in-circumcircle of X(2072)
X(26) = crosssum of X(125) and X(924)
