2. Orthocenter

3. Circumcenter

4. Circumcircle

5. Incenter

6. Incircle

7. Medial triangle

8. Orthocenter, Mid-segment triangle

9. Orthic triangle

10. Pedal triangle

11. Center of Nine point circle

12. Nine Point Circle

13. Trisecting a line segment

14. Equilateral triangle, given a side

15. Square, given a side

16. Isosceles triangle, given base and altitude

17. Triangle Centers (H, G, C, and I)

18. Triangle Centers with Euler Line

19. Locus of vertex of a fixed angle that subtends a fixed segment

20. Divide a segment AB into two parts that form a golden ratio

21. Pentagon, given a radius

22. Pentagon, given a side
