X₃₄₈₇¶

INTERSECTION OF LINES X₁X_4 AND X₃X_7

Let A' be the midpoint of X₁ and the A-intouch point. Define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is homothetic to the 2nd extouch triangle, and the center of homothety is X₃₄₈₇. (Randy Hutson, September 14, 2016)

X₃₄₈₇ (INTERSECTION OF LINES X₁X_4 AND X₃X_7) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
