Euler line (Theorem)

In any triangle, the orthocenter $ H$, the centroid $ G$ and the circumcenter $ O$ are collinear, and $ OG/GH=1/2$. The line passing by these points is known as the Euler line of the triangle.


This line also passes by the center of the nine-point circle (or Feuerbach circle) $ N$, and $ N$ is the midpoint of $ OH$.
