The Nobbs points of a triangle are the intersections of the corresponding sides of
and its contact
triangle
, i.e., the first Nobbs point
is the intersection of
and
, and similarly for
and
. The Nobbs points are collinear
and fall along the Gergonne line. They have trilinear
coordinates
,
, and
.
Given the tangent circles of a reference triangle, the pairwise external centers of similitude are the Nobbs points.
