In any triangle $\triangle ABC$ , the Euler line is a line which passes through the orthocenter $H$ , centroid $G$ , circumcenter $O$ , nine-point center $N$ and De Longchamps point $L$ . It is named after Leonhard Euler. Its existence is a non-trivial fact of Euclidean geometry.

The Euler Line

Certain fixed orders and distance ratios hold among these points. In particular, $\overline{OGNH}$ and $OG:GN:NH = 2:1:3$

Given the orthic triangle $\triangle H_AH_BH_C$ of $\triangle ABC$ , the Euler lines of $\triangle AH_BH_C$ , $\triangle BH_CH_A$ , and $\triangle CH_AH_B$ concur at $N$ , the nine-point center of $\triangle ABC$ .
