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.
