X(1323)
(FLETCHER 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           f(A,B,C) : f(B,C,A) : f(C,A,B), where f(A,B,C) = (sec2A/2)(2 cos2A/2 - cos2B/2 - cos2C/2)
Barycentrics    (sin A)f(A,B,C) : (sin B)f(B,C,A) : (sin C)f(C,A,B)
                                    = g(a,b,c) : g(b,c,a) : g(c,a,b),
                                    where g(a,b,c) = (2a2 - b2 - c2 - ab - ac + 2bc)/(b + c - a) [P. J. C. Moses, 6/25/04]

X(1323) is the point of intersection of the line X(1)X(7) and the trilinear polar of X(7). These two lines are orthogonal.
X(1323) is named in honor of T. J. Fletcher in

Adrian Oldknow, "The Euler-Gergonne-Soddy Triangle of a Triangle," American Mathematical Monthly 103 (1996) 319-329.

X(1323) lies on these lines:
1,7    10,348    36,934    40,738    85,1125    106,927    165,479    241,514    519,664    1319,1355

X(1323) = inverse-in-incircle of X(7)
X(1323) = X(1260)-cross conjugate of X(527)
X(1323) = crossdifference of any two points on line X(55)X(657)
