I'm doing a project on the nine point circle and i need to know what type of triangle it works with. I tried constructing it but it didn't work with an isoscoles or a obtuse triangle, but a website said it works with all triangles, can anyone help?

Hello Geometry,

See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Nine-PointCircle.html

I think the sketch with four points A,B,C and D,four ninepoint circles ,two obtuse and two acute triangles are the ones you'r looking for.

Regards.

The nine point circle works with general triangles. Maybe you're drawing something wrong.
