SEGOVIA POINT

Let ABC be a triangle, A1B1C1 the pedal triangle of H, A2B2C2 the antipodal triangle of A1B1C1 with respect the circumcircle of A1B1C1 (= NPC of ABC) and A'B'C' the antipodal triangle of ABC (= circumcevian triangle of O)

The triangles A2B2C2, A'B'C' are perspective.

Perspector?

Generalization:

A1B1C1 = the pedal triangle of a point P (instead of H).

For H the perspector is

{(a^2 - b^2 - c^2) (3 a^8 - 8 a^4 b^4 + 4 a^2 b^6 + b^8 +
4 a^4 b^2 c^2 - 4 a^2 b^4 c^2 - 4 b^6 c^2 - 8 a^4 c^4 -

Locus:

circumcircle + Linf + cubic (I think not cathalogued in B. Gibert's Cubics in Triangle Plane)

The cubic is

I name the perspector for P = H as SEGOVIA Point for three reasons:

1. Segovia is Spanish as Francisco

2. His name is Andrés as mine

3. He was a great guitarist, and I am wishing to my daughter, who started recently lessons in guitar, to be like him!

This point S lies on line H-X1209 and satisfies the ratio:

HX1209:X1209S = (p^2 - r^2 - 4*r*R)/(3*p^2 - 3*r^2 - 12*r*R - 10*R^2).
