Abstract

Let E be a point in the plane of a convex quadrilateral ABCD. The lines from E to the vertices of the quadrilateral form four triangles. If we locate a triangle center in each of these triangles, the four triangle centers form another quadrilateral called a central quadrilateral. For each of various shaped quadrilaterals, and each of 1000 different triangle centers, and for various choices for E, we examine the shape of the central quadrilateral. Using a computer, we determine when the central quadrilateral has a special shape, such as being a rhombus or a cyclic quadrilateral. A typical result is the following. Let E be the centroid of equidiagonal quadrilateral ABCD. Let F, G, H, and I be the X(591)-points of triangles ABE, BCE, CDE, and DAE, respectively. Then FGHI is an orthodiagonal quadrilateral
