Equal parallelians point

Triangle center

In geometry, the equal parallelians point[1][2] (also called congruent parallelians point) is a special point associated with a plane triangle. It is a triangle center and it is denoted by X(192) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers.[3] There is a reference to this point in one of Peter Yff's notebooks, written in 1961.[1]

Definition

  Reference triangle △ABC
  Line segments of equal length, parallel to the sidelines of △ABC

The equal parallelians point of triangle △ABC is a point P in the plane of △ABC such that the three line segments through P parallel to the sidelines of △ABC and having endpoints on these sidelines have equal lengths.[1]

The trilinear coordinates of the equal parallelians point of triangle △ABC are

Construction for the equal parallelians point

Construction of the equal parallelians point.
  Reference triangle △ABC
  Internal bisectors of △ABC (intersect opposite sides at A", B", C")
  Anticomplementary triangle △A'B'C' of △ABC
  Lines (A'A", B'B", C'C") concurrent at the equal parallelians point

Let △A'B'C' be the anticomplementary triangle of triangle △ABC. Let the internal bisectors of the angles at the vertices A, B, C of △ABC meet the opposite sidelines at A", B", C" respectively. Then the lines A'A", B'B", C'C" concur at the equal parallelians point of △ABC.[2]
