The Euler triangle of a triangle is the triangle
whose vertices are the midpoints of the segments
joining the orthocenter
with the respective vertices. The vertices of the triangle
are known as the Euler points, and lie on the nine-point circle. The Euler triangle is congruent
and homothetic to the medial triangle and perspective
to the orthic triangle (Kimberling 1998, p. 158).
It has trilinear vertex matrix
where ,
, and
