Euler line


In any triangle, the orthocenterMathworldPlanetmath H, the centroid G and the circumcenterMathworldPlanetmath O are collinearMathworldPlanetmath, and OG/GH=1/2. The line passing by these points is known as the Euler lineMathworldPlanetmath of the triangle.

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