A metric relationship between Fermat points and isodynamic points

Let A_1BC, AB_1C, ABC_1 be the equilateral triangles erected outwards the triangle ABC and A_2BC, AB_2C, ABC_2  the equilateral triangles erected inwards the triangle ABC. The Fermat points X_{13} and X_{14} are the perspectors of ABC and the triangles A_1B_1C_1 and A_2B_2C_2 respetively. We consider the equal distances  d_{13}=AA=BB_1=CC_1 and d_{14}=AA_2=BB_2=CC_2.

On the other hand, we consider the points X_{15} and X_{16}, that are the isogonal conjugates of Fermat points and also are the only points that have equilateral pedal triangles. If we call l_{15} and l_{16} the sidelengths of the corresponding pedal triangles, then we have the formula:

d_{13} l_{15} = 2 \Delta = d_{14} l_{16},

where \Delta is the area of the triangle ABC.
