X8

NAGEL POINT

Let NaNbNc be the points in which the A-excircle meets BC, the B-excircle meets CA, and the C-excircle meets AB, respectively. The lines ANa, BNb, CNc concur in X8. Another construction of Na is to start at A and trace around ABC half its perimeter, and similarly for Nb and Nc. Also, X8 is the incenter of the anticomplementary triangle.

Let Ab, Ac, Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb be as in the construction of the Conway circle (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ConwayCircle.html). Let Oa be the circumcircle of ABcCb, and define Ob, Oc cyclically. X8 is the radical center of Oa, Ob, Oc. see also X21 and X274. (Randy Hutson, April 9, 2016)

Let A'B'C' be Triangle T(-2,1). Let A″ be the trilinear product B'*C', and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The lines AA″, BB″, CC″ concur in X519. The lines A'A″, B'B″, C'C″ concur in X8. (Randy Hutson, November 18, 2015)

Let Ia be the reflection of X1 in the perpendicular bisector of BC, and define Ib and Ic cyclically. X8 = X1-of-IaIbIc. (Randy Hutson, September 14, 2016)

Let A28B28C28 be the Gemini triangle 28. Let LA be the line through A28 parallel to BC, and define LB and LC cyclically. Let A'28 = LB∩LC, and define B'28, C'28 cyclically. Triangle A'28B'28C'28 is homothetic to ABC at X8. (Randy Hutson, November 30, 2018)

Let T be any one of these trianges: {Ascella, 1st circumperp, 2nd circumperp}. Let OA be the circle centered at the A-vertex of T and passing through A; define OB and OC cyclically. X8 is the radical center of OA, OB, OC. (Randy Hutson, August 30, 2020)

X8 is the {X69,X75}-harmonic conjugate of X7.
