Given the sides a,b,c of a rectangle we would like to know if a triangle exists whose sides are \sqrt{bc}, \sqrt{ca}, \sqrt{ab}, the geometric means of a, b, c.
We study some loci related to the construction known as crosspoint of two given points. The main result is as follows:
Let ABC a triangle, P a point and L the trilinear polar of some point M. Then the locus of points Q for which the crosspoint of P and Q lies on L is the conic with perspector the crosspoint of P and M.
A problem proposed by Thanos Kalogerakis leads to an insanely huge locus: an algebraic curve of the 30th degree whose equation occupies more than 16500 pages!
We generalize a relation involving ratios proposed by Thanos Kalogerakis and find a hyperbola as locus. We construct the hyperbola by using Pascal theorem and find other formulas.
I found these points trying to solve a problem proposed by Kadir Altintas.
Given a triangle ABC and a point P, call DEF its circuncevian triangle. The circumcenters of six triangles PBD, PDC, PCE, PEA, PAF and PFB lie on the same conic. When this conic is a circle?
