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 , select the center name from the list and, then, click on the vertices A, B and C successively.

Each vertex of the tangential triangle of any triangle T is the inverse-in-the-circumcircle-of-T of the midpoints of the sides of T. Applying this to triangle XYZ shows that X(1155) is the inverse-in-the-incircle of the centroid of XYZ; i.e., X(1155) is X(23)-of-the-intouch-triangle.
