Extract

Let w be a point and ABCDEF a polygon, convex or not, which we call (P). Projecting w orthogonally on the sides AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FA of (P), and joining the respective projections, we obtain the polygon A1B1C1D1E1F1, called (P1) [see Figure 1]. We call (P1) the first pedal of w with respect to (P).
