Concurrent Euler Lines
Hyacinthos #24829
Let ABC be a triangle and HaHbHc the pedal riangle of H.
Denote:
A*,B*,C* = points on AHa, BHb, CHc, resp. such that A*A / A*Ha = B*B/B*Hb = C*C/C*Hc = t.
A2, A3 = the orthogonal projections of A* on AC, AB, resp.
Smilarly B3, B1 and C1, C2.
The Euler lines of
1. AA2A3, BB3B1, CC1C2
2. A*A2A3, B*B3B1, C*C1C2
are concurrent.
1. The loci of the points of concurrence Q of Euler lines of AA2A3, BB3B1, CC1C2 as t varies is the line X(6)X(74)
2. The loci of the points of concurrence Q* of Euler lines of A*A2A3, B*B3B1, C*C1C2 as t varies isthe line The line X(6)X(24).
The envelope of line QQ* is the parabola tangent to lines X(24)X(74), X(6)X(24) and X(6)X(74) at X(5621).
With these data the parabola can be constructed (see for example, Paris Pamfilos.- A Gallery of Conics by Five Elements):
