REFLENTING PERPENDICULARS

Let ABC be a triangle and A'B'C' the pedal triangle of H (orthic triangle).

Denote:

La = the reflection of HA' in B'C'

Lb = the reflection of HB' in C'A'

Lc = the reflection of HC' in A'B'

Ma = the reflection of La in OA.

Mb = the reflection of Lb in OB.

Mc = the reflection of Lb in OC.

The lines Ma,Mb,Mc concur at a point Q. Denote:

A" = BC /\ Ma

B" = CA /\ Mb

C" = AB /\ Mc

The triangles ABC, A"B"C" are orthologic, with orthologic centers Q,S.

Locus:

Let ABC be a triangle P,P* two isogonal conjugate points and A'B'C' the pedal triangle of P.

Denote:

La = the reflection of PA' in B'C'

Lb = the reflection of PB' in C'A'

Lc = the reflection of PC' in A'B'

Ma = the reflection of La in AP*.

Mb = the reflection of Lb in BP*.

Mc = the reflection of Lb in CP*.

Denote:

A" = BC /\ Ma

B" = CA /\ Mb

C" = AB /\ Mc

(Ma,Mb,Mc are perpendiculars to BC,CA,AB, resp.)

Which is the locus of P such that:

1. ABC, triangle bounded by (Ma,Mb,Mc) are perspective? Special case: Ma,Mb,Mc be concurrent.

2. ABC, A"B"C" are orthologic?
