Assignment #8 (Con.)

Nine Point Circles

Melissa Bauers Summer 2002


Let us begin our exploration by looking at the nine point circle of triangle ABC.

 

 

 

 

Now we will overlay the nine point circle of triangle HBC.

 

Notice any similarites?

Now look at the nine point circle for triangle HAC.

 

 

 

And finally the nine point circle of triangle HAB.

 

By observing the GSP sketches of these four triangles you can see that the nine point circle is the same for all of them.
