  Symmedian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The symmedians intersect in the Lemoine point L. The symmedian point of a triangle with sides a, b and c has homogeneous trilinear coordinates [a : b : c].
The symmedian point L can also be constructed differently: the three lines joining the midpoint of a side to the midpoint of the altitude on that side intersect in L.
The symmedian point is the isogonal conjugate of the triangle's centroid.

 PlanetMath: symmedian
On any triangle, the three lines obtained by reflecting the medians in the (internal) angle bisectors are called the symmedians of the triangle.
It can be stated as symmedians are isogonal conjugates of medians.

 Symmedian and 2 Antiparallels
In a triangle ABC the antiparallels to sides AB and AC that meet on the symmedian from C have equal lengths.
Let CS be the symmedian and MR and LN the two antiparallels in question that meet in point T on CS.
By transitivity, the three antiparallels through the symmedian point all have equal lengths.

The symmedian point L can also be constructed differently: the three lines joining the midpoint of a side to the midpoint of the (Elevation especially above sea level or above the earth's surface) altitude on that side intersect in L.

 Symmedian and Antiparallel
A symmedian drawn from a vertex of a triangle divides the antiparallels to the opposite side in half.
It follows that CS (CT extended) is the symmedian from C. This result is often presented in a different form: the locus of the midpoints of the antiparallels to a side of a triangle is the summedian through the opposite vertex.
In a right-angled triangle the symmedian point coincides with the midpoint of the altitude to the hypotenuse.

 Unusual Properties of Triangles
A symmedian of a triangle from vertex A is obtained by reflecting the median from A in the bisector of the angle A.
Among other results on symmedians in Lemoine's 1873 paper he showed that the symmedian from the vertex A cuts the side BC of the triangle in the ratio of the squares of the sides AC and AB.
These were 7.81 inches for the left side, 5.09 inches for the right side, 4.91 inches from the left vertex to the crossing of the symmedian line with the base, and 2.09 inches from the crossing of the symmedian line on the base to the right vertex.

The middles (M) of the segments JH move on a line CK, which is the [symmedian] of the triangle w.r.
Hence the Symmedian point of ABC (which is the intersection point of the three symmedians (look at Symmedian.html) is the Gergonne point of its tangential triangle.
Moving M to the position, such that AB = JH (make F and G coincident), we see that the symmedian is the symmetric of the median from C, with respect to the bisector of C. Look at the file Symmedian_0.html for a more detailed discussion of the symmedian line from a vertex and its properties.

Let the symmedian AL of triangle ABC meet the side BC at a point D' and the circumcircle of triangle ABC at a point X' (different from A).
Two proofs of the fact that the symmedian point is the centroid of its pedal triangle are presented: The first one uses the tangential triangle; the second one is a rather standard proof.
A new proof is given for the fact that the symmedian point of a triangle is the symmedian point of its circumcevian triangle.

 EMILE LEMOINE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In 1883, M. d'Ocagne introduced the term symmedian for a line obtained as the reflection of a median of a triangle about the corresponding angle bisector (i.e., Lemoine's "antiparallel median".
As the LHuilier-Lemoine-Grebe point is the point of concurrence of the three symmedians of a triangle, the geometer Robert Tucker (as in Tucker circles) introduced yet another name for the point: symmedian point (link below).
Fifteen years after the momentous 1873 paper, Lemoine presented another distinctive development to the Association Française pour l'Avancement des Sciences [meeting in Oran, Algeria].

He founded a new study of properties of a triangle in a paper of 1873 where he studied the point of intersection of the symmedians of a triangle.
Among other results on symmedians in Lemoine's 1873 paper is the result that the symmedian from the vertex A cuts the side BC of the triangle in the ratio of the squares of the sides AC and AB.
All I [EFR] can add is that I agree with the mathematicians of the time who preferred a construction with a large number of easily understood steps to a shorter one with sophisticated, rather obscure, steps.

Again the six vertices are concyclic, and the process may be repeated indefinitely to form an infinite family of circles (Tucker [3]).
This family is a coaxaloid system, and its locus of centers is the Brocard axis of the triangle, passing through the circumcenter and the symmedian point.
Third [2] extended this idea by relaxing the conditions for the directions of the sides of the hexagon, thus finding infinitely many coaxaloid systems of circles.
