The symmedial triangle (a term coined here for the first time), is the
triangle whose vertices are the intersection points of the symmedians with the reference triangle
. It has the very simple trilinear
vertex matrix

It is by definition perspective with the reference triangle, with perspector
given by the symmedian point . It is the cyclocevian
triangle with respect to Kimberling center
.
The symmedial triangle is the polar triangle of the Brocard inellipse.
It has area

where
is the area of the reference triangle (apparently
given incorrectly by Casey 1988, p. 172). This is the same area as the first
and second Brocard Cevian triangles.
It has side lengths

The symmedial circle is the circumcircle of the symmedial triangle.
