Fletcher Point
FletcherPoint
The intersection Fl of the Gergonne line and the Soddy line. In the above figure, D^', E^', and F^' are the Nobbs points, I is the incenter, Ge is the Gergonne point, and S and S^' are the Soddy centers.
The Fletcher point has triangle center function
| alpha_(1323)=sec^2(1/2A)[2cos^2(1/2A)-cos^2(1/2B)-cos^2(1/2C)] |
and is Kimberling center X_(1323).
