Trigonometry/Circles and Triangles/The Simson line

Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.

Take any triangle ABC and any point P on its circumcircle. Let the perpendiculars from P to AB, BC and CA be D, E and F respectively. (At least one side will need to be produced to meet the perpendicular.) Then D, E and F all lie on a straight line, the Simson line of that point. This theorem is due to Robert Simson, 1687-1768.
