Isogonal conjugation
Isogonal conjugation is a transformation related to a triangle. Given a triangle and a point (not on the sides), we can construct its isogonal conjugate as follows: For each vertex (say ), draw the line . Then, reflect this line over the angle bisector at . Do this for and as well. The three reflected lines will meet at a single point , which is called the isogonal conjugate of with respect to triangle .
Important properties
-
The isogonal conjugate of a point inside the triangle is also inside the triangle.
-
The isogonal conjugate of the centroid is the symmedian point.
-
Isogonal conjugation is an involution: the isogonal conjugate of the isogonal conjugate of is itself.
-
Special triangle centers (like the incenter, circumcenter, orthocenter) have notable isogonal conjugates.
