Napoleon point

1st Napolen point

the 1st Napoleon point is constructed as follows:
  • Construct an equilateral triangle on each of the sides of the given triangle.
  • Draw a line from each vertex of the original triangle to the centroid of the opposite new triangle.
  • The lines intersect at the first Napoleon point.
The barycentric coordinates of this point depend on the lenghts of the sides of the triangle as well as on the angles.
