Crosspoint


If P=p:q:r and U=u:v:w are distinct trilinear points, neither lying on a sideline of the reference triangle DeltaABC, then the crosspoint of P and U is the point

 pu(rv+qw):qv(pw+ru):rw(qu+pv).

Let DeltaA^'B^'C^' be the Cevian triangle of P and DeltaA^('')B^('')C^('') the Cevian triangle of U. Let A^(''')=AA^('') intersection B^'C^', and define B^(''') and C^(''') cyclically. Then X is the perspector of triangles DeltaA^'B^'C^' and DeltaA^(''')B^(''')C^(''').

U is the X-cross conjugate of P and P is the X-cross conjugate of U.
