QA-P2: Euler-Poncelet Point

QA-P2: Euler-Poncelet Point

Euler mentioned this point in one of his numerous papers.

In 1821 Brianchon and Poncelet, both captains of artillery, wrote a book (Ref-1) in which the orthogonal hyperbola and this point were worked out.

The Euler-Poncelet Point can be defined in different ways.

1. It is the center of the orthogonal hyperbola through P1, P2, P3 and P4.

2. It is the common point of the Nine-point Circles of the triangles Pj.Pk.Pl for all combinations of (j,k,l) ∈ (1,2,3,4).

3. It is the common point of the Pedal Circles of points Pi wrt triangles Pj.Pk.Pl for all combinations of (i,j,k,l) ∈ (1,2,3,4).

This point is also described at Ref-2c, Ref-8, Ref-15f and Ref-42.
