X113–X139¶
Centers on the Nine-Point Circle & Orthic Centers
X113–X139 (Centers on the Nine-Point Circle & Orthic Centers) — 14 representative centers (from 27 in collection) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
Group Preamble — Centers X113-X139 (Points on the nine-point circle)
Centers X113-X139 lie on the nine-point circle.
Suppose that X is a point on the nine-point circle, and let X' be the reflection of X in the orthocenter, H. Then X is the anticenter of the cyclic quadrilateral ABCX’. Let HA be the orthocenter of triangle BCX, Let HB be the orthocenter of CAX, and let HC be the orthocenter of triangle ABX. Then the quadrilateral \(HH_{A}\)HBHC is homothetic to and congruent to the cyclic quadrilateral ABCX’, and X is the center of homothety. (Randy Hutson, 9/23/2011)
