The second Brocard triangle of a reference triangle is the triangle
obtained by the following
construction. Let
be the circle tangent at
to
and passing through
, and let
be the circle tangent at
to
and passing through
. Their second intersection
is
.
Define
and
similarly by cyclically permuting the indices.
The second Brocard triangle is also the triangle obtained as the intersections of the lines ,
,
and
with the Brocard circle, where
is the symmedian point.
Let
,
,
and
be the intersections of the lines
,
,
and
with the circumcircle of
. Then
,
, and
are the midpoints of
,
, and
, respectively (Lachlan 1893).
The second Brocard triangle has trilinear vertex matrix

It has area

The focus of the Kiepert parabola
of the second Brocard triangle is
of the reference
triangle, the midpoint of its Kiepert
parabola focus
and Parry point
(O. Walsh, pers. comm., Nov. 16, 2025; Kimberling).
The following table gives the centers of the second Brocard triangle in terms of the centers of the
reference triangle that correspond to Kimberling
centers .
