Euler's nine-point circle is applicable to all types of triangles, including acute, obtuse, and isosceles triangles. The discussion highlights a project on the nine-point circle, where the user faced issues constructing it with specific triangle types. A referenced resource suggests that the nine-point circle can indeed be constructed with various triangles. The confusion may stem from incorrect drawing techniques. Overall, the nine-point circle is versatile and works with any triangle configuration.

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?

The nine point circle works with general triangles. Maybe you're drawing something wrong.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
