Vecten points
Triangle centers
In Euclidean geometry, the Vecten points are two triangle centers, points associated with any triangle. They may be found by constructing three squares on the sides of the triangle, connecting each square centre by a line to the opposite triangle point, and finding the point where these three lines meet. The outer and inner Vecten points differ according to whether the squares are extended outward from the triangle sides, or inward.
The Vecten points are named after an early 19th-century French mathematician named Vecten, who taught mathematics with Gergonne in Nîmes and published a study of the figure of three squares on the sides of a triangle in 1817.[1]
