X3411¶
1st BROCARD-KIEPERT-FERMAT CUSP
X3411 and X3412 occur in Bernard Gibert’s study of the Brocard-Kiepert quartic, which has three cusps: X20 with Euler line as tangent; X3411 with line X5X13 as tangent, and X3412 with line X5X14 as tangent.
X3411 (1st BROCARD-KIEPERT-FERMAT CUSP) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
