If the quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then the midpoints of the diagonals coincide so that the connecting line segment has length 0. In addition the parallel sides are of equal length, hence Euler's theorem reduces to + = + which is the parallelogram law.
If the two sums of areas of opposite triangles are equal: | | + | | = | | + | |, then the point L is located on the Newton line, that is the line which connects E and F. [1] [2] For a parallelogram, the Newton line does not exist since both midpoints of the diagonals coincide with point of intersection of the diagonals.
Given such a configuration the point P is located on the Newton line, that is line EF connecting the midpoints of the diagonals. [1] A tangential quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides is a rhombus. In this case, both midpoints and the center of the incircle coincide, and by definition, no Newton line exists.
E, K, F lie on a common line, the Newton line Not to be confused with Newton-Gauss line or Isaac Newton line . In Euclidean geometry the Newton line is the line that connects the midpoints of the two diagonals in a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides.
An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A ...
The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A l (half linear dimensions yields quarter area), and the area of the parallelogram is A ...
In geometry, the Newton–Gauss line (or Gauss–Newton line) is the line joining the midpoints of the three diagonals of a complete quadrilateral.. The midpoints of the two diagonals of a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides are distinct and thus determine a line, the Newton line.
There can also be defined a quasinine-point center E as the intersection of the lines E a E c and E b E d, where E a, E b, E c, E d are the nine-point centers of triangles BCD, ACD, ABD, ABC respectively. Then E is the midpoint of OH. [47]
