(INTERSECTION OF LINES X(1)X(30) AND X(14)X(226))


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           sec(A/2) csc(A/2 + π/3) : sec(B/2) csc(B/2 + π/3) : sec(C/2) csc(C/2 + π/3)
Barycentrics    sin A sec(A/2) csc(A/2 + π/3) : sin B sec(B/2) csc(B/2 + π/3) : sin C sec(C/2) csc(C/2 + π/3)

Suppose X and Y are triangle centers. Let

YA = (Y of the triangle XBC),
YB = (Y of the triangle XCA),
YC = (Y of the triangle XAB).

Let A' = (XYA intersect BC), and define B' and C' cyclically. In

Clark Kimberling, "Major Centers of Triangles," Amer. Math. Monthly 104 (1997) 431-438,

Question A is this: for what choices of X and Y do the lines AA', BB', CC' concur? A solution (X,Y) will here be called the (X,Y)-answer to Question A. X(554) is the (X(1),X(13))-answer to Question A. (In the reference, see (9) on page 435, with Y = X(13).)

X(554) lies on these lines: 1,30    7,1082    14,226    75,299
