X(355)
(FUHRMANN CENTER)


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..


Information from Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers

Trilinears           f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b), where f(a,b,c) = a cos A - (b + c)cos(B - C)

Trilinears           g(a,b,c) : g(b,c,a) : g(c,a,b),
                                    where g(a,b,c) = bc(b + c)[a2(b2 + c2) - (b2 - c2)2] - a3bc(b2 + c2 - a2) (Michel Garitte, 4/3/03)

X(355) = the center of the Fuhrmann circle, defined as the circumcircle of the Fuhrmann triangle A"B"C", where A" is obtained as follows: let A' be the midpoint of the shorter arc having endpoints B and C on the circumcircle of ABC; then A" is the reflection of A' in line BC. Vertices B" and C" are obtained cyclically.

X(355) lies on these lines:
1,5    2,944    3,10    4,8    30,40    65,68    85,150    104,404    165,550    381,519    382,516    388,942    938,1056

X(355) = midpoint of X(4) and X(8)
X(355) = reflection of X(I) in X(J) for these (I,J): (1,5), (3,10), (944,1385), (1482,946)
X(355) = anticomplement of X(1385)
X(355) = complement of X(944)
