Construction
We assume that P is not collinear with any two vertices of ABC. Let A', B' and C' be the points in which the lines AP, BP, CP meet sidelines BC, CA and AB (extended if necessary). Reflecting A', B', C' in the midpoints of sides BC, CA, AB will give points A", B" and C" respectively. The isotomic lines AA", BB" and CC" joining these new points to the vertices meet at a point (which can be proved using Ceva's theorem), the isotomic conjugate of P.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:
“No construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
