Orthocentric System
A set of four points, one of which is the Orthocenter of the other three. In an orthocentric system, each point isthe Orthocenter of the Triangle of the other three, as illustrated above. The Incenter andExcenters of a Triangle are an orthocentric system. The centers of theCircumcircles of an orthocentric system form another orthocentric system congruent to the first. Thesum of the squares of any nonadjacent pair of connectors of an orthocentric system equals the square of the Diameterof the Circumcircle. Orthocentric systems are used to define Orthocentric Coordinates.
The four Circumcircles of points in an orthocentric system taken three at a time (illustrated above)have equal Radius.
The four triangles of an orthocentric system have a common Nine-Point Circle, illustrated above.
