QG-2P2: Endpoints 3rd QA-diagonal


In a Quadrigon (system of 4 consecutive points P1, P2, P3, P4) the Diagonal Triangle of a Quadrangle (system of 4 points unrestricted) can be seen as a triangle with these vertices:

  • the Diagonal Crosspoint (QG-P1) representing the 1st vertex,
  • the Endpoints at the QA-3rd Diagonal representing the 2nd and 3rd vertice, which are QG-2P2a and QG-2P2b.

When the Quadrigon vertices are P1, P2, P3, P4 in this order, then:

  • QG-P1 = intersection point P1.P3 ^ P2.P4
  • QG-2P2a = intersection point P1.P2 ^ P3.P4
  • QG-2P2b = intersection point P1.P4 ^ P2.P3.

Properties
  • QG-2P2a and QG-2P2b are collinear with QG-P2, QG-P3, QG-2P3a/b.
  • QG-2P2a and QG-2P2b are each other’s Reflection in QG-P2.
  • QG-2P2a and QG-2P2b define the line segment which is the diameter of QG-Ci1 (QA-DT-Thales Circle).
  • Let L2a and L2b be the lines through QG-2P2a and QG-2P2b parallel to QG-P1.QL-P13. Let L3a, L3b and L3c be the sidelines of the QL-Diagonal Triangle, L3c being the 3rd diagonal QG-L1. The pairs of triangles (L3a,L3c,L2a) and (L3b,L3c,L2a) as well as (L3a,L3c,L2b) and (L3b,L3c,L2b) have equal areas. See [50], ADGEOM #2380/2382/2383, where L2a and L2b are called area equalizers.
