Let be a Quadrilateral with Perpendicular Diagonals. The
Midpoints of the sides (
,
,
, and
) determine a Parallelogram (the Varignon
Parallelogram) with sides Parallel to the Diagonals. The eight-point circle passes
through the four Midpoints and the four feet of the Perpendiculars from the
opposite sides
,
,
, and
.
