Euler Line

The Circumcenter (C), Centroid (G) and Orthocenter (H) of a triangle all lie on a line called the Euler line of the triangle and HG=2GC.

Furthermore the center of the Ninepoint circle (N) also lies on the Euler line and is, indeed, the midpoint of CH.

Proof of the existence of the Euler line.
