Dynamic Geometry 1460: Newton-Gauss Line, Complete Quadrilateral, Midpoints of Diagonals
The midpoints N, W, and T of the diagonals AC, BD, and EF of a complete quadrilateral ABCDEF lie on a line called Newton-Gauss Line.
Complete quadrilateral
Complete quadrilateral ABCDEF is the figure determined by four lines, no three of which are concurrent, and their six points of intersection A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Midpoint
Midpoint of a segment: the point on a line segment dividing it into two segments of equal length.Static Diagram of Dynamic Geometry 1460: Newton-Gauss Line
