N
|
-
|
point on the circumcircle
|
T
|
-
|
triangle

Description
|
|
•
|
The feet of the perpendiculars from any point N on the circumcircle of a triangle T to the sides of the triangle are collinear. The line of collinearity is called the Simson line of the point N for the triangle T
|
•
|
For a detailed description of the Simson line sl, use the routine detail (i.e., detail(sl))
|
•
|
Note that the routine only works if the vertices of triangle T are known.
|
•
|
The command with(geometry,SimsonLine) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
