The orthic axis associated with a normalized orthocentric system A, B, C and H, where ABC is the reference triangle, is a line that passes through three intersection points formed when each side of the orthic triangle meets each side of the reference triangle. Now consider the three other possible triangles, ABH, ACH and BCH. They each have their own orthic axis.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or axes:
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Henothing common did, or mean,
Upon the memorable Scene:
But with his keener Eye
The Axes edge did try:”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
