Mandart Circle


MandartCircle

The Mandart circle is the circumcircle of the extouch triangle. It has center at Kimberling center X_(1158), which has trilinear center function

 alpha_(1158)=a^6-3a^4b^2+3a^2b^4-b^6+2a^4bc+2a^3b^2c-2a^2b^3c-2ab^4c-3a^4c^2+2a^3bc^2-2a^2b^2c^2+2ab^3c^2+b^4c^2-2a^2bc^3+2ab^2c^3+3a^2c^4-2abc^4+b^2c^4-c^6,
(1)

and radius

 R_M=s/(abc)sqrt((4R^2-bc)(4R^2-ca)(4R^2-ab)),
(2)

where R is the circumradius of the reference triangle and s is the semiperimeter.

It has trilinear circle function

 l=-(a^3+a^2b-ab^2-b^3+a^2c-2abc+b^2c-ac^2+bc^2-c^3)/(4b(a-b-c)c),
(3)

which corresponds to Kimberling center X_(221).

The Mandart circle passes through Kimberling centers X_i for i=11 (the Feuerbach point F) and 1364, which are its two intersections with the incircle.

The Mandart circle is also the circumcircle of X_(84) (the isogonal conjugate of the Bevan point), which is identical to the Cevian triangle of X_(189) (P. Moses, pers. comm., Dec. 16, 2004).
