X1141

GIBERT POINT

In Jean-Pierre Ehrmann and Bernard Gibert, “Special Isocubics,” downloadable from Cubics in the Triangle Plane, the point X1141 is labeled E, barycentrics are given, and it is established that this point also lies on the line X5-to-X110 [listed below as 5,49], two other cubics, and the hyperbola that passes through the points A, B, C, X4, X5.

Notes

X1141 was first noted (Hyacinthos #1498, September 25, 2000) by Bernard Gibert as a point of intersection of the circumcircle and certain cubic, denoted Kn. To define Kn, note first that the Neuberg cubic is the locus of a point M such that the reflections of M in the sidelines of triangle ABC are the vertices of a triangle perspective to ABC. The locus of the perspector is the cubic Kn, and X1141 is the point, other than A, B, C, in which Kn meets the circumcircle. Also, X1141 is the perspector when M = X1157.

Let Refa be the reflection of A in line BC, and define Refb and Refc cyclically. Let AB be the reflection of Refa in AB, and define AC, BC, BA, CA, CB cyclically. Let

A1 = BAB∩CAC, and define B1 and C1 cyclically,

  • A2 = BAC∩CAB, and define B2 and C2 cyclically,

  • A3 = BBA∩CCA, and define B3 and C3 cyclically,

  • A4 = BBC∩CCB, and define B4 and C4 cyclically,

  • A5 = BCA∩CBA, and define B5 and C5 cyclically,

  • A6 = BCB∩CBC, and define B6 and C6 cyclically.

Then triangle AnBnCn is perspective to ABC, for n = 1,2,3,4,5,6. The six perspectors are X1141, X186, X4, X54, X265, X5, respectively. (Keith Dean, #4953, 3/12/02; coordinates by Paul Yiu, #4963; summary by Dean, #4971)

X1141 is the antipode of X930 on the circumcircle, and X1141 lies on the line of the nine-point center, X5, and its isogonal conjugate, X54.
