- 1. If the sides of the Pedal Triangle of a point
meet the corresponding sides of a Triangle
at
,
, and
, respectively, then
,
,
meet at a point
common to the Circles
and
. In other words,
is one of the intersections
of the Nine-Point Circle of
and the Pedal Circle of
.
- 2. If a point moves on a fixed line through the Circumcenter, then its Pedal Circle passes
through a fixed point on the Nine-Point Circle.
- 3. The Pedal Circle of a point is tangent to the Nine-Point Circle Iff the point and its
Isogonal Conjugate lie on a Line through the Orthocenter.
Feuerbach's Theorem is a special case of this theorem.
