  • Circle Inversion

    • Definition of circle inversion
    • ΔOAB ~ ΔOB’A’
    • Different cases for circle inversion of circles and lines
    • Objects that are tangent to each other, are inverted to objects that are also tangent to each other.
    • If a circle d is inverted in another circle c, then d is inverted to itself if and only if c and d are perpendicular.
  • Ptolemy's Theorem

    • Proof using circle inversion
  • Nine-Point Circle

    • In any triangle, the mid-points of the sides, the feet of altitudes, and the mid-points of the segments that join the orthocentre H with each vertex all lie on a common circle.
    • The centre of the nine-point circle lies on the Euler line and is the mid-point of the circumcentre O and the orthocentre H.
