4. Construction of conics determined by certain conditionsFor a second generalization of the WALLACE-lines we look for the other intersection points of the perpendicular
lines to the sides of the triangle ABC through a point X with the sides of this triangle ABC called P', Q', R' and P'', Q'', R''.
Now we ask for the locus of X while the points P', Q', R' or the points P'', Q'', R'' are collinear. First we move the point X to get an idea for the solution. After a while we can see that the intersection point of
the perpendicular lines of the line AB through the point B and the line BC through the point A is one of these points.
By cyclic permutation we get three special points. Of course, the points A, B, C lie on the conic, too. |
