1. Prove that nine point centre is the mid point of orthocentre and circumcentre.
The discussion revolves around proving that the nine-point center is the midpoint of the orthocenter and circumcenter in a triangle. The subject area includes concepts from geometry, specifically relating to triangle centers and their properties.
There is an ongoing exploration of the proof requirements, with some participants expressing frustration over the lack of initial attempts. Guidance has been offered regarding the need to show effort before receiving assistance, and there are multiple interpretations of how to approach the proof.
Participants mention the necessity of showing attempts in homework forums, and there is a reference to the rules regarding assistance, emphasizing that help should be contingent on demonstrated effort.

@prashant singh, have you looked at this article?

You could also try following some of the referenced links from the Wikipedia article.
I don't have any attempts , I don't know how to start but I know euler line and I have tried to link them but I didn't get the answer. Do you have hints.haruspex said:I know the requirement is awkward for proofs, but on these homework forums you are supposed to show some attempt. Do you have any thoughts at all on the matter?

I didn't post the article because I thought it had a proof. I posted it because I thought it might help you do your proof. Part of that article gives the coordinates of the nine-point center. If you can get the coordinates of the other points you're concerned with, you're pretty much done.prashant singh said:Yes I read the whole article but there was no proof.
That's not how it works here. From the rules (https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-forums-global-guidelines.414380/):prashant singh said:If you know the proof then tell me directly
You have been given some hints -- it's up to you to show some effort. So far, I haven't seen any effort on your part.Giving Full Answers:
On helping with questions: Any and all assistance given to homework assignments or textbook style exercises should be given only after the questioner has shown some effort in solving the problem. If no attempt is made then the questioner should be asked to provide one before any assistance is given.
