X(485)
(VECTEN 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           sec(A - π/4) : sec(B - π/4) : sec(C - π/4)
                                    =1/(sin A + cos A) : 1/(sin B + cos B) : 1/(sin C + cos C)
Trilinears           sin A + cos(B - C) : sin B + cos(C - A) : sin C + cos(A - B) (Peter J. C. Moses, 8/22/03)

Barycentrics    sin A sec(A - π/4) : sin B sec(B - π/4) : sin C sec(C - π/4)

Erect a square outwardly from each side of triangle ABC. Let A'B'C' be the triangle formed by the respective centers of the squares. The lines AA', BB', CC' concur in X(485). For details, visit Floor van Lamoen's site, Vierkanten in een driehoek: 1. Omgeschreven vierkanten (van Lamoen, 4/26/98) and his article "Friendship Among Triangle Centers," Forum Geometricorum, 1 (2001) 1-6. See also Paul Yiu's papers "Squares Erected on the Sides of a Triangle", and "On the Squares Erected Externally on the Sides of a Triangle".

X(485) lies on these lines: 2,372    3,590    4,371    5,6    69,639    76,491    226,481    489,671

X(485) = reflection of X(488) in X(641)
X(485) = isogonal conjugate of X(371)
X(485) = isotomic conjugate of X(492)
X(485) = complement of X(488)
X(485) = anticomplement of X(641)
X(485) = X(3)-cross conjugate of X(486)
X(485) = internal center of similitude of nine-point circle and 2nd Lemoine circle
