X₁₄₉₈¶

REFLECTION OF X₆₄ IN X₃

Let (B_a, C_a) be the points where BC is cut by the parallels through A to the b- and c- altitudes, respectively, and define (C_b, A_b), (A_c, B_c) cyclically. Then the perpendicular bisectors of (B_a, C_a), (C_b, A_c) and (A_c, B_c) concur at X₁₄₉₈. (Hyacinthos #62, #72, #73)

X₁₄₉₈ (REFLECTION OF X₆₄ IN X₃) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
