nine-point circleとは 意味・読み方・使い方

In geometry, the nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed for any given triangle. It is so named because it passes through nine significant points defined from the triangle. These nine points are:

• The midpoint of each side of the triangle
• The foot of each altitude
• The midpoint of the line segment from each vertex of the triangle to the orthocenter (where the three altitudes meet; these line segments lie on their respective altitudes).
