- The triangle NaNbNc bounded by the lines BaCa, CbAb, AcBc is homothetic
to triangle ABC. The center of homothety is the symmedian point K
of ABC and we have KNa:KA = KNb:KB
= KNc:KC = (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + S): S, being S
twice the area of ABC.
- If Ma, Mb, Mc are the midpoints of line segments ANa, BNb,
CNc the medians of triangle MaMbMc are the perpendicular bisectors
of line segments AbAc, BcBa and CaCb, respectively. Hence these perpendicular
bisectors concur at centroid M of MaMbMc.
- The triangle MaMbMc is thus orthological to triangle LaLbLc bounded
by the lines AbAc, BcBa and CaCb, and the centroid M of MaMbMc is
the center of orthology, hence the triangle LaLbLc is orthological
to triangle MaMbMc being the centroid L of LaLbLc the center of orthology,
that is, the perpendiculars to lines MbMc, McMa, MaMb through the
points La, Lb, Lc concur at L.
- The point L is X(376), the reflection of the centroid
G with respect to the circumcenter O of ABC.
