The Dao-Parry circle associated with a rectangular circumhyperbola of a scalene
triangle
is the circle through the five points
,
,
,
, and the focus
of the Kiepert
parabola in the following construction. Dao Thanh Oai (2016) proposed the configuration
as a generalization of the Parry circle, and Lozada
(2021) introduced the name.
Let
be the isogonal conjugate of a nondegenerate
, and let the tangent line
to
at the orthocenter
meet
at a finite point
. Write
for the center of
and suppose
. Assume that the line
meets
at two distinct finite real points
and
. Let
,
, and
be the isogonal conjugates
of
,
, and
, respectively. Assume that all three isogonal
conjugates are defined and finite, with
different from the circumcenter
. Let
be the image of
under inversion in the circumcircle.
Then the five points are concyclic
and determine the Dao-Parry circle (Dao Thanh Oai 2016, Lozada 2021).
The point lies on the Jerabek hyperbola,
so its isogonal conjugate
lies on the Euler line. Its
inverse point
also lies on the Euler line,
and the Dao-Parry circle is orthogonal to the
circumcircle. Its center lies on the line
through
and the center
of the Parry circle (Lozada 2021).
Taking
to be the Kiepert hyperbola gives the Parry
circle (Dao Thanh Oai 2016, Lozada 2021).
