Nguyen 046: a generalization leads to a fistful of loci

We start from a proposal by David Nguyen and a generalization gives some loci that satisfy the same property than the centroid:

• Three hyperbolas
• The circumconic with center the symmedian point
• A quartic.

Envelope of trilinear polars of isogonal conjugates of points on a circle

Given a circle, the envelope of the trilinear polars of the isogonal conjugates of points on the circle is a conic .

The conic, to be a parabola, needs that the given circle goes through the symmedian point $K$ .

Given a circle through $K$ centered at $Q$, call $F'$ the second intersection of $KQ$ and Jerabek hyperbola, and $F''$ the reflection of $F'$ in the midpoint of $K$ and $X_{5505}$. Then the focus $F$ of the parabola lies on line $KF''$ .

Then line joining $F'$ and $X_{5486}$ is parallel to the axis of the parabola .

The point $X_{5505}$ is the Kirikami concurrent circles image of $K$.

In general, let $P$ be a point in the plane of triangle $ABC$ . Let $H_a$ be the orthocenter of triangle $PBC$, and define $H_b$ and $H_c$ cyclically . Let $O_a$ be the circle through the points $A$, $H_b$, $H_c$, and define $O_b$ and $O_c$ cyclically . The circles $O_a$, $O_b$, $O_c$ concur at the Kirikami concurrent circles image of $P$.

The point $X_{5486}$ is the Kirikami Euler image of $K$ .

In general, let $P$ be a point in the plane of triangle $ABC$ . Let $H_a$ be the orthocenter of triangle $PBC$, and define $H_b$ and $H_c$ cyclically. The Euler lines of the triangles $AH_bHc$, $BH_cH_a$, $CH_aH_b$ concur at the Kirikami-Euler image of $P$.

An interpretation of a Nguyen perspector

David Nguyen is an optometrist from Sydney who is very fruitful in discovering concurrences in the also fruitful world of Triangle Geometry. We give an interpretation to one of his recent findings.

Another relationship between Napoleon cubic and Neuberg cubic

The world of Triangle Geometry is very intrincate. There are many paths that lead to the same place.

In this case a problem from proposed by Benjamin L. Warren at  Euclid 8052 and later expanded by Antreas Hatzipolakis lead to a relationship between these two cubics.
