X39

BROCARD MIDPOINT

X39 is the midpoint of the 1st and 2nd Brocard points, given by trilinears \(c/b : a/c : b/a\) and \(b/c : c/a : a/b\). The third and fourth trilinear representations were given by Peter J. C. Moses (10/3/03); cf. X511, X32, X182.

Notes

The locus of the nine-point center in a Brocard porism (triangles sharing circumcircle and Brocard inellipse with ABC) is the circle through X5 with center X39. (Randy Hutson, August 29, 2018)

As illustrations of the Brocard porism mentioned just above, see

The Poncelet Homothetic Pair Contains an Aspect-Ratio Invariant Brocard Inellipse. Here the orbit of X39 is an ellipse. (Dan Reznik and Ronaldo Garcia, September 13, 2020)

X39 is the {X3,X6}-harmonic conjugate of X32.
