QL-L3: QL-Pedal Line

The perpendicular feet from the Miquel Point (QL-P1) to the four lines lie on the same line R, and the Miquel Point is the only point with this property.

This is statement 3 of Steiner’s note on the complete quadrilateral as described on page 1 of [4]. This line R is now according to [4] named the Pedal Line.

QL-L3 is also called the “pedal line” by J.W. Clawson in [31].

Properties
  • QL-P19 lies on QL-L3.
  • QL-L3 is parallel to QL-L2 (Steiner Line).
  • QL-L3 is perpendicular to QL-L1 (Newton Line) and QL-L4 (Morley Line).
  • QL-L3 is tangent to the QL-Inscribed Parabola QL-Co1 at the vertex.
  • QL-Co1 is the 5th Line Conic (see QL-Co-1) of QL-L3.
  • The Orthopole of ANY line through the Miquel Point wrt ANY Component Triangle of the Reference Quadrilateral lies on QL-L3. See [33], Anopolis # 637.
  • The Orthopole of ANY line parallel to the Newton line QL-L1 wrt ANY Component Triangle of the Reference Quadrilateral lies on QL-L3. See [34], Seiichi Kirikami, QFG message # 1102.
  • The Orthopoles of QL-L3 wrt the QL-Component Triangles lie on QL-L2. See [34], Seiichi Kirikami, QFG message # 1102.
  • QL-L3 is the common Simson Line of QL-P1 wrt the 4 QL-Component Triangles. See [34], QFG messages #551, #1105.
  • The line through the intersection point of Li and Lj (i,j=1,2,3,4) and through the intersection point of the reflected lines of QL-L3 in Li and Lj passes through QL-P1. See [34], Seiichi Kirikami, QFG message # 1096.
