Symmedian


Symmedians

The lines AK_A, BK_B, and CK_C which are isogonal to the triangle medians AM_A, BM_B, and CM_C of a triangle are called the triangle's symmedian. The symmedians are concurrent in a point K called the symmedian point which is the isogonal conjugate of the triangle centroid G.

The triangle DeltaK_AK_BK_C formed by the intersections of the symmedians with the sides of the reference triangle is known as the symmedial triangle.
