Quiz #6

The Euler line of a triangle is the line determined by the cirumcenter (O) and the orthocenter (H) of the triangle.

a) There are two other significant points on the line segment OH, name them.

The centroid, G, and the center of the nine-points circle, N.

b) Draw a diagram which shows the relative positions of these four points.

c) If the line segment OH has a length of 18 units, what are the lengths of the three segments determined by these four points?

As N is the midpoint of OH, HN = 9. Since G trisects OH, GO = 6. Since the total length is 18, NG = 3.
