Let the triangle have extouch triangle , whose vertices are the tangent points of the three excircles. Then the lines , , intersect at the Nagel point [1].

Let , , be the exact trilinear coordinates of and let mean the sum of the exact trilinear coordinates of the point .

Let , , be the side lengths opposite the corresponding vertices and let , , , be the circumradius, inradius, exradius for and semiperimeter of .

Then:

.

You can drag the vertices , and .

Details

A triangle center is said to be even when its barycentric coordinates can be expressed as a function of three variables , , that all occur with even exponents. If the center of a triangle has constant barycentric coordinates, it is called a neutral center (the centroid is the only neutral center). A triangle center is said to be odd if it is neither even nor neutral.

Standard barycentric coordinates of a point with respect to a reference triangle are normalized to have a sum of 1.
