The isogonal theorem

Isogonal lines definition

Let a line $\ell$ and a point $O$ lying on $\ell$ be given. A pair of lines symmetric with respect to $\ell$ and containing the point $O$ be called isogonals with respect to the pair $(\ell,O).$

Sometimes it is convenient to take one pair of isogonals as the base one, for example, $OA$ and $OB$ are the base pair. Then we call the remaining pairs as isogonals with respect to the angle $\angle AOB.$

Projective transformation

It is known that the transformation that maps a point with coordinates $(x,y)$ into a point with coordinates $(\frac{1}{x}, \frac {y}{x}),$ is projective.

If the abscissa axis coincides with the line $\ell$ and the origin coincides with the point $O,$ then the isogonals define the equations $y = \pm kx,$ and the lines $(\frac{1}{x}, \pm k)$ symmetrical with respect to the line $\ell$ become their images.

It is clear that, under the converse transformation (also projective), such pairs of lines become isogonals, and the points equidistant from $\ell$ lie on the isogonals.

The isogonal theorem

Let two pairs of isogonals $OX - OX'$ and $OY - OY'$ with respect to the pair $(\ell,O)$ be given. Denote $Z = XY \cap X'Y', Z' = X'Y \cap XY'.$

Prove that $OZ$ and $OZ'$ are the isogonals with respect to the pair $(\ell,O).$

Proof

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let us perform a projective transformation of the plane that maps the point $O$ into a point at infinity and the line $\ell$ maps to itself. In this case, the isogonals turn into a pair of straight lines parallel to $\ell$ and equidistant from $\ell.$

The converse (also projective) transformation maps the points equidistant from $\ell$ onto isogonals. We denote the image and the preimage with the same symbols.

Let the images of isogonals are vertical lines. Let coordinates of images of points be $X(-a, 0), X'(a,u), Y(-b,v), Y'(b,w).$ Equation of a straight line $XY$ is $\frac{x + a}{a - b} = \frac {y}{v}.$

Equation of a straight line $X'Y'$ is $\frac{x - a}{b - a} = \frac {y - u}{w - u}.$

The abscissa $Z_x$ of the point $Z$ is $Z_x = \frac {v a - a w + u b}{u - v - w}.$

Equation of a straight line $XY'$ is $\frac{x + a}{b + a} = \frac {y}{w}.$

Equation of a straight line $X'Y$ is $\frac{x - a}{- b - a} = \frac {y - u}{v - u}.$

The abscissa $Z'_x$ of the point $Z'$ is $Z'_x = \frac {v a - a w + u b}{- u + v + w} = - Z_x \implies$

Preimages of the points $Z$ and $Z'$ lie on the isogonals. $\blacksquare$

Let $OY$ and $OY'$ are isogonals with respect $\angle XOX'.$

Let lines $XY$ and $X'Y'$ intersect at point $Z, X'Y || XY'.$

Prove that $OZ$ and line $l$ through $O$ parallel to $XY'$ are the isogonals with respect $\angle XOX'.$

Proof

The preimage of $Z'$ is located at infinity on the line $l.$

The equality $Z'_x = -Z_x$ implies the equality the slopes modulo of $OZ$ and $l$ to the bisector of $\angle XOX'. \blacksquare$

Converse theorem

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let lines $XY$ and $X'Y'$ intersect at point $Z, X'Y || XY'.$

Let $OZ$ and $l$ be the isogonals with respect $\angle XOX'.$

Prove that $OY$ and $OY'$ are isogonals with respect $\angle XOX' (\angle XOY' = \angle YOX').$

Proof

The preimage of $Z'$ is located at infinity on the line $l,$ so the slope of $OZ$ is known.

Suppose that $y' \in XY', y' \ne Y', \angle y'OX = \angle YOX'.$

The segment $XY$ and the lines $XY', OZ$ are fixed $\implies$

$y'X'$ intersects $XY$ at $z \ne Z,$

but there is the only point where line $OZ$ intersect $XY.$ Сontradiction. $\blacksquare$

Prove that $\angle AMB = \angle AMD.$

Proof

$EM = MF \implies$ $\angle AME = \angle MEF = \angle MFE = \angle CMF.$ Therefore $EM$ and $FM$ are isogonals with respect $(AC,M).$

Let us perform a projective transformation of the plane that maps the point $M$ to a point at infinity and the line $\ell = AC$ into itself.

In this case, the images of points $E$ and $F$ are equidistant from the image of $\ell \implies AC$ contains the midpoints of $AC$ and $EF$ , that is, $\ell$ is the Gauss line of the complete quadrilateral $ABCDEF \implies$

$\ell$ bisects $BD \implies BB_0 = DD_0 \implies$

Prove that $\frac {AB^2}{BD \cdot BE} = \frac{ AC^2}{CD \cdot CE}.$

Proof

Denote $\angle BAD = \angle CAE = \varphi,$ $\angle B = \beta, \angle C = \gamma \implies$ $\angle ADE = \beta + \varphi, \angle AED = \gamma + \varphi, \angle BAE = \angle CAD = \psi+\varphi.$

We use the Law of Sines and get: $\frac {AB}{BD} = \frac {\sin (\beta + \varphi)}{\sin \varphi}, \frac {AB}{BE} = \frac {\sin (\gamma + \varphi)}{\sin (\psi +\varphi)},$ $\frac {AC}{CE} = \frac {\sin (\gamma + \varphi)}{\sin \varphi}, \frac {AC}{CD} = \frac {\sin (\beta + \varphi)}{\sin (\psi +\varphi)} \implies$ $\frac {AB \cdot AB}{BD \cdot BE} = \frac {AC \cdot AC}{CD \cdot CE} = \frac {\sin (\beta + \varphi) \cdot \sin (\gamma +\varphi)} {\sin \varphi \cdot \sin (\psi +\varphi)}.$

$DD' \perp CD, CC' \perp CD \implies CDD'C'$ is rectangle $\implies$ $CC' = DD' \implies \angle CQC' = \angle DQD'.$

Definition of isogonal conjugate of a point

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ be given. Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of $ABC.$ Let point $P$ be in the plane of $\triangle ABC, P \notin AB, P \notin BC, P \notin AC, P \notin \omega.$ Denote by $a,b,c$ the lines $BC, CA, AB,$ respectively. Denote by $p_a, p_b, p_c$ the lines $PA$ , $PB$ , $PC$ , respectively. Denote by $q_a$ , $q_b$ , $q_c$ the reflections of $p_a$ , $p_b$ , $p_c$ over the angle bisectors of angles $A$ , $B$ , $C$ , respectively.

Prove that lines $q_a$ , $q_b$ , $q_c$ concur at a point $Q.$ This point is called the isogonal conjugate of $P$ with respect to triangle $ABC$ .

Proof

By our constructions of the lines $q$ , $\angle p_a b \equiv \angle q_a c$ , and this statement remains true after permuting $a,b,c$ . Therefore by the trigonometric form of Ceva's Theorem $\frac{\sin \angle q_a b}{\sin \angle c q_a} \cdot \frac{\sin \angle q_b c}{\sin \angle a q_b} \cdot \frac{\sin \angle q_c a}{\sin \angle b q_c} = \frac{\sin \angle p_a c}{\sin \angle b p_a} \cdot \frac{\sin \angle p_b a}{\sin \angle c p_b} \cdot \frac{\sin \angle p_c b}{\sin \angle a p_c} = 1,$ so again by the trigonometric form of Ceva, the lines $q_a, q_b, q_c$ concur, as was to be proven. $\blacksquare$

Corollary

Let points P and Q lie on the isogonals with respect angles $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ of triangle $\triangle ABC.$

Then these points lie on isogonals with respect angle $\angle A.$

Corollary 2

Let point $P$ be in the sideline $BC$ of $\triangle ABC, P \ne B, P \ne C.$

Then the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ is a point $A.$

Points $A,B,$ and $C$ do not have an isogonally conjugate point.

Three points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let fixed triangle $ABC$ be given. Let the arbitrary point $D$ not be on sidelines of $\triangle ABC.$ Let $E$ be the point on isogonal of $CD$ with respect angle $\angle ACB.$ Let $F$ be the crosspoint of isogonal of $BD$ with respect angle $\angle ABC$ and isogonal of $AE$ with respect angle $\angle BAC.$

Prove that lines $AD, BE,$ and $CF$ are concurrent.

Proof

Denote $D' = BF \cap CE, S = CF \cap BE.$

$AE$ and $AF$ are isogonals with respect $\angle BAC \implies$

$D'$ and S lie on isogonals of $\angle BAC.$

$\angle DBC = \angle D'BA, \angle DCB = \angle D'CA \implies$

$D'$ is isogonal conjugated of $D$ with respect $\triangle ABC \implies$

$D'$ and $D$ lie on isogonals of $\angle BAC.$

Therefore points $A, S$ and $D$ lie on the same line which is isogonal to $AD'$ with respect $\angle BAC. \blacksquare$

Second definition

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ be given. Let point $P$ lies in the plane of $\triangle ABC,$ $P \notin AB, P \notin BC, P \notin AC.$ Let the reflections of $P$ in the sidelines $BC, CA, AB$ be $P_1, P_2, P_3.$

Then the circumcenter $Q$ of the $\triangle P_1P_2P_3$ is the isogonal conjugate of $P.$

Points $A, B,$ and $C$ have not isogonal conjugate points.

Another points of sidelines $BC, AC, AB$ have points $A, B, C,$ respectively as isogonal conjugate points.

Proof $PC = P_1C, PC = P_2C \implies P_1C = P_2C.$ $\angle ACQ = \angle BCP_1 \implies \angle QCP_1 = \angle ACB.$ $\angle BCQ = \angle ACP_2 \implies \angle QCP_2 = \angle ACB.$ $\angle QCP_1 = \angle QCP_2, CP_1 = CP_2, QC$ is common therefore $\triangle QCP_1 = \triangle QCP_2 \implies QP_1 = QP_2.$ Similarly $QP_1 = QP_3 \implies Q$ is the circumcenter of the $\triangle P_1P_2P_3.$ $\blacksquare$

From definition 1 we get that $P$ is the isogonal conjugate of $Q.$

It is clear that each point $P$ has the unique isogonal conjugate point.

Let point $P$ be the point with barycentric coordinates $(p : q : r),$ $p = [(P - B),(P - C)], q = [(P - C),(P - A)], r = [(P - A),(P - B)].$ Then $Q$ has barycentric coordinates $(p' : q' : r'), p' = \frac {|B - C|^2}{p}, q' = \frac {|A-C|^2}{q}, r' = \frac {|A - B|^2}{r}.$

Let $Q$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

Let $E$ and $D$ be the projection $P$ on sides $AC$ and $BC,$ respectively.

Let $E'$ and $D'$ be the projection $Q$ on sides $AC$ and $BC,$ respectively.

Then $\frac {PE}{PD} = \frac{QD'}{QE'}.$

Proof

Let $\theta = \angle ACP = \angle BCQ, \Theta = \angle ACQ = \angle BCP.$ $\frac {PE}{PD} = \frac {PC \sin \theta}{PC \sin \Theta} = \frac {QC \sin \theta}{QC \sin \Theta} = \frac {QD'}{QE'}. \blacksquare$ vladimir.shelomovskii@gmail.com, vvsss

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ and points $P$ and $Q$ inside it be given.

Let $D, E, F$ be the projections $P$ on sides $BC, AC, AB,$ respectively.

Let $D', E', F'$ be the projections $Q$ on sides $BC, AC, AB,$ respectively.

Let $\frac {PE}{PD} = \frac{QD'}{QE'}, \frac {PF}{PD} = \frac{QD'}{QF'}.$ Prove that point $Q$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

One can prove a similar theorem in the case $P$ outside $\triangle ABC.$

Proof

$\frac {PE}{PD} = \frac {PE}{PC} : \frac {PD}{PC} = \frac {\sin \angle ACP}{\sin \angle BCP},$ $\frac {QD'}{QE'} = \frac {QD'}{QC} : \frac {QE'}{QC} = \frac {\sin \angle BCQ}{\sin \angle ACQ}.$

Denote $\angle ACP = \varphi, \angle BCQ = \psi, \angle ACB = \gamma.$ $\sin \varphi \cdot \sin (\gamma - \psi) = \sin \psi \cdot \sin (\gamma - \varphi) \implies$ $\cos (\varphi - \gamma + \psi) - \cos(\varphi + \gamma - \psi) = \cos (\psi - \gamma + \varphi) - \cos(\psi + \gamma - \varphi)$ $\cos (\gamma + \varphi - \psi) = \cos(\gamma - \psi + \varphi) \implies$ $\cos \gamma \cos (\varphi - \psi) - \sin \gamma \sin (\varphi - \psi) = \cos \gamma \cos (\varphi - \psi) + \sin \gamma \sin (\varphi - \psi)$ $2 \sin \gamma \cdot \sin (\varphi - \psi) = 0, \varphi + \psi < 180^\circ \implies \varphi = \psi.$ Similarly $\angle ABP = \angle CBQ.$ Hence point $Q$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC. \blacksquare$

Circumcircle of pedal triangles

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let $Q$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

Let $E, D, F$ be the projection $P$ on sides $AC, BC, AB,$ respectively.

Let $E', D', F'$ be the projection $Q$ on sides $AC, BC, AB,$ respectively.

Prove that points $D, D', E, E', F, F'$ are concyclic.

The midpoint $PQ$ is circumcenter of $DD'EE'FF'.$

Proof

Let $\theta = \angle ACP = \angle BCQ, \Theta = \angle ACQ = \angle BCP.$ $CE \cdot CE' = PC \cos \theta \cdot QC \cos \Theta = PC \cos \Theta \cdot QC \cos \theta = CD \cdot CD'.$

Hence points $D, D', E, E'$ are concyclic.

$PQE'E$ is trapezoid, $E'E \perp PE \implies OE = OE' \implies$

the midpoint $PQ$ is circumcenter of $DD'EE'.$

Similarly points $D, D', F, F'$ are concyclic and points $F, F', E, E'$ are concyclic.

Therefore points $D, D', E, E', F, F'$ are concyclic, so the midpoint $PQ$ is circumcenter of $DD'EE'FF'.$

Common circumcircle of the pedal triangles as the sign of isogonally conjugate points

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ and points $P$ and $Q$ inside it be given. Let $D, E, F$ be the projections $P$ on sides $BC, AC, AB,$ respectively. Let $D', E', F'$ be the projections $Q$ on sides $BC, AC, AB,$ respectively.

Let points $D, E, F, D', E', F'$ be concyclic and none of them lies on the sidelines of $\triangle ABC.$

Then point $Q$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

This follows from the uniqueness of the conjugate point and the fact that the line intersects the circle in at most two points.

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ and points $X$ and $Y$ be given. Let points $X'$ and $Y'$ be the isogonal conjugate of a points $X$ and $Y$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC,$ respectively.

Let $XY$ cross $X'Y'$ at $Z$ and $XY'$ cross $X'Y$ at $Z'.$

Prove that point $Z'$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $Z$ with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Proof

There are two pairs of isogonals $CX - CX'$ and $CY - CY'$ with respect to the angle $\angle ACB \implies$ $CZ - CZ'$ are isogonals with respect to the $\angle ACB$ in accordance with The isogonal theorem.

Similarly $AZ - AZ'$ are the isogonals with respect to the $\angle BAC.$

Therefore the point $Z'$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $Z$ with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Let $D$ be the circumcenter of $\triangle BCP.$

Let $E$ be the circumcenter of $\triangle BCQ.$

Prove that points $D$ and $E$ are inverses with respect to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC.$

Proof

The circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$ point $O,$ and points $D$ and $E$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of $BC.$ $\angle BOD = \angle COE = \angle BAC.$ $2 \angle BDO = \angle BDC = \overset{\Large\frown} {BC} =$ $= 360^\circ - \overset{\Large\frown} {CB} = 360^\circ - 2 \angle BPC.$ $\angle BDO = 180^\circ - \angle BPC = \angle PBC + \angle PCB.$ Similarly $\angle CEO = 180^\circ - \angle BQC = \angle QBC + \angle QCB.$ $\angle PBC + \angle QBC = \angle PBC + \angle PBA = \angle ABC.$ $\angle QCB + \angle PCB = \angle QCB + \angle QCA = \angle ACB.$

$\angle CEO +\angle BDO = \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ - \angle BAC \implies$ $\angle OBD = 180^\circ - \angle BOD - \angle BDO = \angle OEC \implies$ $\triangle OBD \sim \triangle OEC \implies \frac {OB}{OE} = \frac {OD}{OC} \implies OD \cdot OE = OB^2. \blacksquare$

Equidistant isogonal conjugate points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $ABC$ with incenter $I$ be given. Denote $\omega = \odot BIC.$

Let point $P'$ be the isogonal conjugate of the point $P$ with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Prove that $AP = AP'$ iff $P \in \omega.$

Proof

1. Let $P \in \omega.$ WLOG, $P \in \angle BAI.$ Point $P \in \omega \implies \angle PBI = \angle PCI.$

Point $P'$ is the isogonal conjugate of the point $P$ with respect to $\triangle ABC \implies$ $\angle PBI = \angle P'BI, \angle PCI = \angle P'CI \implies$ $\angle P'BI = \angle P'CI.$ So points $B,C,I, P,$ and $P'$ are concyclic.

Let $E = AI \cap \odot ABC.$ Then $E$ is the center of $\omega \implies$ $EP = EP', \angle IEP = \angle IEP' = 2 \angle PBI.$ $\triangle AEP = \triangle AEP' \implies AP = AP'.$

2. Let $AP = AP'.$ $\angle PAI = \angle PAE = \angle P'AI = \angle P'AE \implies$

Points $P$ and $P'$ are symmetric with respect $AI \implies PE = P'E.$

Suppose that $P \notin \odot BIC.$

Let $O$ be the center of $\odot BPC, O'$ be the center of $\odot BP'C.$

It is known that points $O$ and $O'$ are inverted with respect to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC.$

Points $O, O',$ and $E$ belong to bisector $BC, E \in \odot ABC.$

Therefore $\overset{\Large\frown} {BIC}$ divide $\overset{\Large\frown} {BPC}$ and $\overset{\Large\frown} {BP'C}.$

WLOG (see diagram) $PE > IE > P'E,$ contradiction.

Let triangle $\triangle ABC,$ points $P$ and $P',$ and $\odot ABC = \Omega$ be given. Let point $P'$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$ $D = AP \cap BC, E = AP' \cap BC,$ $F = AP \cap \Omega, G = AP' \cap \Omega.$ Prove that $PF \cdot P'G= AF \cdot EG.$

Proof

$\angle AFC$ and $\angle AGC$ are both subtended by arc $\overset{\Large\frown} {AC} \implies \angle AFC = \angle AGC.$ $\angle PCF = \angle PCB + \angle BCF = \angle P'CA + \angle BAF = \angle P'CA + \angle P'AC=$ $= \angle GP'C \implies \triangle CPF \sim \triangle P'CG \implies PF \cdot P'G = FC \cdot CG.$ Similarly $\triangle CAF \sim \triangle ECG \implies AF \cdot EG = FC \cdot CG.$ Product of isogonal segments

Point on circumcircle

Let triangle $\triangle ABC,$ points $D \in BC$ and $E \in BC$ be given.

Denote $\Omega = \odot ABC, \omega = \odot AED,$ $G = \omega \cap \Omega \ne A, F = AG \cap BC,$ $K = AE \cap \Omega \ne A, L = GD \cap \Omega \ne G.$ Prove that $KL || BC.$

Proof

WLOG, the order of the points is $B,E,F,C,D,$ as shown on diagram.

The spiral symilarity centered at $A$ maps $\Omega$ to $\omega$ and point $L \in \Omega$ to point $D \in \omega \implies \overset{\Large\frown} {AL} = \overset{\Large\frown} {AD} \implies \angle ABL = \angle AED.$

Fixed point on circumcircle

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC,$ point $G \ne A$ on circumcircle $\Omega = \odot ABC,$ and point $D \in BC$ be given.

Point $P$ lies on $AG,$ point $P'$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC, Q = DP' \cap AP, F = \odot DPQ \cap \Omega.$

Prove that $F$ is fixed point and not depends from position of $P.$

Proof

WLOG, the order of points on sideline is $B, C, D,$ point $B$ is closer to $AP$ than to $AP'.$

Denote $Y = AP \cap BC, Z = AP' \cap BC,\omega = \odot ADY,$ $F' = \omega \cap \Omega \ne A, H = \Omega \cap F'D \ne F'.$

Spiral similarity centered at $A$ which maps $\Omega$ into $\odot AYD$ transform point $H$ into point $D \implies$ $\overset{\Large\frown} {ACH} = \overset{\Large\frown} {AD} \implies$ $\angle AGH = \angle AYD \implies GH||BC \implies$ $\overset{\Large\frown} {CH} = \overset{\Large\frown} {BG} \implies$ $\angle BAG = \angle CAH \implies H \in AP'.$ Points $F', H,$ and $D$ are collinear.

It is known ( Ratio of isogonal segments) that $\frac {AP'}{P'Z} \cdot \frac {AP}{PY} = \frac {AH}{HZ}.$

We use the ratio of the areas and get: $\frac {[AQD]}{[QYD]} = \frac{AQ}{QY}, \frac {[ZQD]}{[YQD]} = \frac{ZD}{YD},$ $\frac {[AQD]}{[ZQD]} = \frac{AP'}{P'Z} \implies$ $\frac{AQ}{QY} = \frac {[AQD]}{[QYD]} = \frac {[AQD]}{[ZQD]} \cdot \frac {[ZQD]}{[YQD]} = \frac{AP'}{P'Z} \cdot \frac{ZD}{YD}.$ Denote $X = AP \cap DH.$ $\frac {[AXD]}{[YXD]} = \frac{AX}{XY}, \frac {[XZD]}{[XYD]} = \frac{ZD}{YD},$ $\frac {[AXD]}{[XZD]} = \frac{AH}{HZ} \implies$ $\frac{AX}{XY} = \frac {[AXD]}{[YXD]} = \frac {[AXD]}{[XZD]} \cdot \frac {[XZD]}{[YXD]} = \frac{AH}{HZ} \cdot \frac{ZD}{YD}.$ Therefore $\frac{AX}{XY} = \frac{AQ}{QY} \cdot \frac{AP}{PY}$ which means ( Problems | Simple) that $DX$ is the radical axes of $\omega$ and $\odot DPQ \implies$

$F = F'$ and not depends from position of $P.$

Distance formula for isogonal points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ and point $P$ be given.

Let point $P'$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

Let lines $AP$ and $AP'$ cross sideline $BC$ at $D$ and $E$ and circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ at $F$ and $G,$ respectively.

We apply the Isogonal’s property and get $\frac {BD}{DC} \cdot \frac{BE}{EC} = \frac {AB^2}{AC^2}.$

$EF || BC.$ We apply the Ptolemy's theorem to $BCGF$ and get $BC \cdot FG = BG^2 – BF^2.$

We apply the barycentric coordinates and get $\left| \frac{BE}{EC} - \frac {BD}{DC} \right| = \frac {AB \cdot BC \cdot FG}{AC \cdot PF \cdot P'G}.$

Miquel point for isogonal conjugate points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC,$ points $Q \in BC$ and $P$ be given. Let point $P'$ be the isogonal conjugate of a point $P$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$ $D = QP \cap AP', E = AP \cap QP'.$ Let $M$ be the Miquel point of a complete quadrilateral $PDP'E.$

Prove that $M$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC.$

Proof

Point $A$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $Q$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC,$ so point $D$ is the isogonal conjugate of a point $E$ with respect to a triangle $\triangle ABC.$

Points $P$ and $E$ lies on the same line, therefore $PF \cdot P'G = EF \cdot DG \implies$

$\frac {PF-EP}{PF} = \frac{DG-DP'}{DG} \implies$ $\frac {EP}{PF} = \frac{DP'}{DG}.$ Point $M$ lies on circles $APD$ and $AEP' \implies$ spiral similarity centered at $M$ transform triangle $\triangle MPE$ to $\triangle MDP' \implies$ $\angle MPE = \angle MDP', \frac {MP}{MD} = \frac {PE}{DP'} = \frac{PF}{DG} \implies$ $\triangle MPF \sim \triangle MDG \implies$ $\angle AFM = \angle AGM \implies M \in \odot ABC.$

Miquel point for two pare isogonal points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $\triangle ABC$ and points $P$ and $Q$ be given.

Let points $P'$ and $Q'$ be the isogonal conjugate of the points $P$ and $Q$ with respect to $\triangle ABC, \Omega = \odot ABC, M$ is the Miquel point of quadrilateral $PQP'Q'.$

Prove that $M \in \Omega.$

Proof

Denote $R = PQ \cap P'Q', \Theta = \odot P'QR, \theta = \odot PQ'R.$

Then $M = \theta \cap \Theta$ is the Miquel point of quadrilateral $PQP'Q'.$

Denote $E = \theta \cap \Omega \notin \Theta, F = \Theta \cap \Omega \notin \theta.$

Let $D \in \Omega$ be the point with property $D' \in PQ.$

WLOG, configuration is similar as shown in diagram.

$P' \in DF, Q' \in DE$ ( Isogonal_bijection_lines_and_points). $\angle EMF = \angle RME - \angle RMF = \angle RQ'E - \angle RP'F = \angle P'Q'E - \angle DP'Q' = \angle P'DQ' = \angle EDF \implies M \in \odot DEF \blacksquare$

Isogonic center’s conjugate point

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let triangle $ABC$ with isogonic center $F (X(13)$ or $X(14))$ be given. Denote $\omega = \odot BIC.$

Let line $\ell_A$ be the axial symmetry of line $AF$ according to the sideline $BC.$

Define lines $\ell_B$ and $\ell_C$ similarly.

Prove that the lines $\ell_A, \ell_B,$ and $\ell_C$ are concurrent.

Proof

Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC, F =X(13).$ $A_1 = AF \cup BC, E = AI \cup BC, D \in BC, AD \perp AE, \omega = \odot AED.$ Let $F_1 = AF \cup \omega, F'$ is simmetric to $F_1$ with respect $BC \implies A_1F' = \ell_A.$

The diameter $DE$ of $\omega$ lies on $BC \implies F_1 \in \omega, \overset{\Large\frown} {EF_1} = \overset{\Large\frown} {EF'} \implies \angle EAF_1 = \angle EAF'.$

Therefore $AF'$ is the isogonal conjugate of $AF$ with respect to $\angle BAC.$

Similarly $\ell_B$ and $\ell_C$ are the isogonal conjugate of $BF$ and $CF,$ so point $F'$ is the isogonal conjugate of point $F$ with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

The second diagram show construction in the case $F =X(14).$ The proof is similar.

Three pairs isogonal points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let a triangle $ABC,$ points $D$ and $E \in AD$ be given, $F = CD \cap BE.$ Points $D', E'$ and $F'$ are the isogonal conjugate of the points $D, E,$ and $F,$ respectively, with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Prove that $\frac {AD}{AE} \cdot \frac {BE}{BF} \cdot \frac {CF}{CD} = \frac {AE'}{AD'} \cdot \frac {BF'}{BE'} \cdot \frac {CD'}{CF'}.$

Proof

Denote $\angle BAC = \alpha, \angle ABC = \beta, \angle ACB = \gamma,$ $\angle BAD = \varphi_A, \angle CBE = \varphi_B, \angle ACD = \varphi_C.$ We use isogonal properties and get $\angle CAD' = \varphi_A, \angle ABE' = \varphi_B, \angle BCD' = \varphi_C.$ By applying the Law of Sines, we get $\frac {BE}{AE} = \frac {\sin \varphi_A}{\sin (\beta - \varphi_B)}, \frac {CF}{BF} = \frac {\sin \varphi_B}{\sin (\gamma - \varphi_C)}, \frac {AD}{CD} = \frac {\sin \varphi_C}{\sin (\alpha - \varphi_A)}.$ Symilarly, $\frac {AE'}{BE'} = \frac {\sin \varphi_B}{\sin (\alpha - \varphi_A)}, \frac {BF'}{CF'} = \frac {\sin \varphi_C}{\sin (\beta - \varphi_B)}, \frac {CD'}{AD'} = \frac {\sin \varphi_A}{\sin (\gamma - \varphi_C)}.$ We multiply these equations and get $\frac {AE \cdot BF \cdot CD}{AD \cdot BE \cdot CF} = \frac{AD' \cdot BE' \cdot CF'}{AE' \cdot BF' \cdot CD'} = \frac {\sin \varphi_A \cdot \sin \varphi_B \cdot \sin \varphi_C}{\sin (\alpha - \varphi_A) \cdot \sin (\beta - \varphi_B) \cdot \sin (\gamma - \varphi_C)}.$ vladimir.shelomovskii@gmail.com, vvsss

Ratio for three pairs of isogonal points

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Let a triangle $ABC,$ points $D$ and $E \in AD$ be given, $F = CD \cap BE.$

Points $D', E'$ and $F'$ are the isogonal conjugate of the points $D, E,$ and $F,$ respectively, with respect to $\triangle ABC.$

Denote $R$ and $R'$ the circumradii of triangles $\triangle DEF$ and $\triangle D'E'F',$ respectively.

Prove that $\frac {AD \cdot BE \cdot CF}{R} = \frac {AE' \cdot BF' \cdot CD'}{R'}.$

Proof

Denote $\frac {AD}{DE} = u, \frac {BE}{EF} = w, \frac {CF}{FD} = v.$

$[DEF] = 1,$ where $[X]$ is the area of the figure $X.$ $\frac {[ADF]}{[DEF]} = \frac {AD}{DE} = u, \frac {[ACF]}{[DEF]} = \frac {[ACF]}{[ADF]} \cdot \frac {[ADF]}{[DEF]} = uv.$ Similarly, $\frac {[CFE]}{[DEF]} = v, \frac {[BCE]}{[DEF]} = vw, \frac {[BDE]}{[DEF]} = w, \frac {[ABD]}{[DEF]} = uw.$ $\frac {[ABC]}{[DEF]} = 1 + u + v + w + uv + uw + vw = (1 + u)(1 + v)(1 + w) - uvw,$ $\frac {[ABC]}{[DEF]} = \frac {AE \cdot BF \cdot CD}{DE \cdot DF \cdot EF} - \frac {AD \cdot BE \cdot CF}{DE \cdot DF \cdot EF}.$ $\frac {DE \cdot DF \cdot EF}{4R} = [DEF] \implies$ $[ABC] = \frac {AD \cdot BE \cdot CF}{4R} \cdot \left ( \frac {AE \cdot BF \cdot CD}{BE \cdot CF \cdot AD}-1 \right).$ Similarly, $[ABC] = \frac {AE' \cdot BF' \cdot CD'}{4R'} \cdot \left ( \frac {AD' \cdot BE' \cdot CD}{AE' \cdot BF' \cdot CD'}-1 \right).$ It is known that $\frac {AD}{AE} \cdot \frac {BE}{BF} \cdot \frac {CF}{CD} = \frac {AE'}{AD'} \cdot \frac {BF'}{BE'} \cdot \frac {CD'}{CF'}$ ( Three pairs isogonal points), therefore $\frac {AD \cdot BE \cdot CF}{4R} = \frac {AE' \cdot BF' \cdot CD'}{4R'}.$ Comment: The main idea of the proof was found by Leonid Shatunov.
