The Euler Line

Back to Geometry homepage

The diagram below contains a triangle ΔABC with circumcentre O, centroid G and orthocentre H. Euler's theorem says that O, G and H are collinear. You can see this in the diagram below; the Euler line through the points O, G and H is coloured in black, and its extension is coloured in orange.

By moving the vertices A, B and C you can see how the Euler line depends on these points.
