OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In geometry, Brocard points are special points within a triangle. They are named after Henri Brocard (1845 - 1922), a French mathematician. The most elegant construction of the Brocard points goes as follows. In the following example the first Brocard point is presented, but the construction for the second Brocard point is very similar. Form a circle through points A and B, tangent to edge BC of the triangle (the center of this circle is at the point where the perpendicular bisector of AB meets the line through point B that is perpendicular to BC). Symmetrically, form a circle through points B and C, tangent to edge AC, and a circle through points A and C, tangent to edge AB. These three circles have a common point, the first Brocard point of triangle ABC. See also Tangent lines to circles. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
