Q02. Pedal triangle of equilateral triangle
Construction
Draw an equilateral triangle
Draw three heights AD, BE, CF
Then AD, BE, CF are also the medians
Proof
Right angle ACF and angle ACF = 30 degrees
Hence AF = AC/2
Hence AF = BF
Hence CF is also median
Properties
1. AD, BE, CF are also angle bisectors
2. AD, BE, CF are also side bisectors
3. Centroid, orth-center, in-center and circum-center at same point O
4. Triangle DEF is pedal triangle
5. Four centers of pedal triangle DEF are at same point O
