9-point Circle<br />

Thm 4.17: The centroid of a triangle trisects the segment joining<br />

the circumcenter and the orthocenter. [Euler line]<br />

A<br />

H<br />

G<br />

C A'<br />

O<br />

B<br />

Draw centroid G on median<br />

AA', 2/3 of the way from A.<br />

ΔHAG ~ ΔOA'G because<br />

AH = 2OA'<br />

AG = 2GA' and<br />

∠HAG ≅ ∠OA'G<br />

thus ∠HGA ≅ ∠OGA', and<br />

so H,G, and O are collinear<br />

with HG = 2 GO.
