Generalising a problem of Sylvester
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 January 2015
Extract
The Euler line of a triangle is mostly valued, not for any practical application, but purely as a beautiful, esoteric example of post-Greek geometry. Much to his surprise, however, the author recently came across the following result and theorem by Sylvester (1814-1897) in [1] that involves an interesting application of forces that relate to the Euler line (segment). This result is also mentioned in [2] without proof or reference to Sylvester.
