Extract

Notation: If A, B are points, then AB denotes the line AB rather than just the segment from A to B, unless stated otherwise. If l, m are lines, then their meet is denoted l m. The circle through points A, B and C (the circumcircle of ΔABC) is denoted ⊙ABC.

Given ΔABC, let the points Xi, Yi, Zi, lie on BC, CA, AB, respectively, for i = 1, 2, 3; that is, three distinct points on each side of the triangle, and suppose
