X178¶
2nd MID-ARC POINT
X178 (2nd MID-ARC POINT) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
Constructed Elements
Derived Triangle: Medial Triangle △MaMbMc — vertices Ma, Mb, Mc (Formed by the midpoints of sides BC, CA, AB)
Central Lines: {2, 188}
Related Centers: X2 (CENTROID), X188 (2nd MID-ARC POINT OF ANTICOMPLEMENTARY TRIANGLE)
Trilinears: \((\cos B/2 + \cos C/2) \csc A : (\cos C/2 + \cos A/2) \csc B : (\cos A/2 + \cos B/2) \csc C\)
Barycentrics: \(\cos B/2 + \cos C/2 : \cos C/2 + \cos A/2 : \cos A/2 + \cos B/2\)
Search Value (6, 9, 13): \(2.359244703059\)
Notes¶
Let A',B',C' be the first points of intersection of the angle bisectors of ABC with its incircle. Let A″,B″,C″ be the midpoints of segments BC,CA,AB, respectively. The lines A'A″,B'B″,C'C″ concur in X178.
