Let the circles and
used in the construction of the Brocard
points which are tangent to
at
and
, respectively, meet again at
. The points
then define the
-triangle, also known as the fourth Brocard triangle (Gibert).
It has trilinear vertex matrix
(1)
|
The vertices of the -triangle
are the isogonal conjugates of the second
Brocard triangle, and
is inversely similar to the medial triangle (Johnson
1929, p. 285). In addition, the vertices lie on the respective medians of the
reference triangle. The circumcircle
of the
-triangle
is the orthocentroidal circle, which has
diameter
,
where
is the triangle centroid and
is the orthocenter.
The vertices satisfy

The vertices of the D-triangle lie on the respective Apollonius circles.
The following table gives the centers of the D-triangle in terms of the centers of the reference triangle that correspond to Kimberling
centers .
