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..

Trilinears            bc/(b + c - 2a) : ca/(c + a - 2b) : ab/(a + b - 2c)
Barycentrics    1/(b + c - 2a) : 1/(c + a - 2b) : 1/(a + b - 2c) (Darij Grinberg, 12/28/02)

James Blaikie (1847-1929) proposed the following problem. Let O be any point in the plane of triangle ABC, and let any straight line g through O meet BC in P, CA in Q, AB in R; then, if points P', Q', R' be taken on the line so that

                     PO = OP',       QO = OQ',       RO = OR',

prove that AP', BQ', CR' are concurrent.

Darij Grinberg introduces the term Blaikie point of O and g for the point Z of concurrence. If

                     O = x : y : z and g = [k : l : m] (barycentric coordinates),

then Z has first barycentric 1/[k(y-z) - (ly-mz)]. Given a point S = u : v : w, Grinberg then defines the S-Blaikie transform of O as the Blaikie point of O and OS. The first barycentric of Z can be written as

                     1/[yw(y+x) + zv(z+x) - yz(2u+v+w)].

X(903) lies on these lines:
2,45    7,528    27,648    75,537    86,99    310,670    320,519    335,536    350,889    527,666    675,901    812,1022

X(903) = reflection of X(I) in X(J) for these (I,J): (2,1086), (3,190)
X(903) = isogonal conjugate of X(902)
X(903) = isotomic conjugate of X(519)
X(903) = X(I)-cross conjugate of X(J) for these (I,J): (320,86), (519,2)
