Triangle △ABC Angle bisectors; concur at incenter I Lines joining the midpoints of each angle bisector to the vertices of △ABC Lines perpendicular to each angle bisector at their midpoints Euler lines; concur at the Schiffler point Sp
In geometry, the Schiffler point of a triangle is a triangle center, a point defined from the triangle that is equivariant under Euclidean transformations of the triangle. This point was first defined and investigated by Schiffler et al. (1985).
Definition
A triangle △ABC with the incenter I has its Schiffler point at the point of concurrence of the Euler lines of the four triangles △BCI, △CAI, △ABI, △ABC. Schiffler's theorem states that these four lines all meet at a single point.
Coordinates
Trilinear coordinates for the Schiffler point are
or, equivalently,
where a, b, c denote the side lengths of triangle △ABC.
