Congruent isoscelizers point explained

In geometry, the congruent isoscelizers point is a special point associated with a plane triangle. It is a triangle center and it is listed as X(173) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. This point was introduced to the study of triangle geometry by Peter Yff in 1989.[1] [2]

Definition

An isoscelizer of an angle in a triangle is a line through points and, where lies on and on, such that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. An isoscelizer of angle is a line perpendicular to the bisector of angle .

Let be any triangle. Let be the isoscelizers of the angles respectively such that they all have the same length. Then, for a unique configuration, the three isoscelizers are concurrent. The point of concurrence is the congruent isoscelizers point of triangle .[1]
