Let the circles and used in the construction of the Brocard points which are tangent to at and , respectively, meet again at . The points then define the -triangle, also known as the fourth Brocard triangle (Gibert).
It has trilinear vertex matrix

The vertices of the -triangle are the isogonal conjugates of the second Brocard triangle, and is inversely similar to the medial triangle (Johnson 1929, p. 285). In addition, the vertices lie on the respective medians of the reference triangle. The circumcircle of the -triangle is the orthocentroidal circle, which has diameter , where is the triangle centroid and is the orthocenter.
The vertices satisfy

The vertices of the D-triangle lie on the respective Apollonius circles.
