F.36 Orthic Triangle
The orthic triangle H_A H_B H_C formed by the altitude feet of an acute triangle ABC is the pedal triangle of the orthocenter H = X(4), is homothetic to the tangential triangle, has H as its incenter, and solves Fagnano’s 1775 problem by minimizing the perimeter among all triangles inscribed in ABC.
