X3557

1st PAPPUS POINT

X3557 was submitted and called the Pappus point by Roland Bacher (March 11, 2009); coordinates and the related point X3558 were found by Peter Moses (March 12, 2009).

Notes

X3557 is the crosspoint (and crosssum) of the real foci of the Steiner inellipse. (Bernard Gibert, January 4, 2015)

X3557 is the Brocard axis intercept, other than X1340, of the circle {{X1340,PU(1)}}. Also, X3557 is the insimilicenter of the 2nd Lemoine circle and the circle {{X371,X372,PU(1),PU(39)}}. (Randy Hutson, January 5, 2015)
