    Center Circle
Click For Summary
To prove that the center of DG equals the center of the red circle, one must extend lines in the figure. Extending line FC shows it passes through point D, while extending line EC demonstrates it passes through point G. By extending lines GA and DB to meet at point X, it can be established that X lies on the red circle, with CX acting as a diameter. Additionally, CDXG forms a parallelogram, confirming that its diagonals intersect at the circle's center. This geometric reasoning supports the claim that the centers coincide.

Extend some of the lines in the figure.

• Show that if you extend the line FC then it passes through D.

• Show that if you extend the line EC then it passes through G.

• Show that if you extend the lines GA and DB to meet at X then X lies on the red circle, and CX is a diameter of the circle.

• Show that CDXG is a parallelogram whose diagonals meet at the centre of the circle.
 
Thread 'erroneously  finding discrepancy in transpose rule'
Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
