Newton line


In Euclidean geometry the Newton line is the line that connects the midpoints of the two diagonals in a convex quadrilateral with at most two parallel sides.

Properties

The line segments GH and IJ that connect the midpoints of opposite sides of a convex quadrilateral intersect in a point that lies on the Newton line. This point K bisects the line segment EF that connects the diagonal midpoints.
By Anne's theorem and its converse, any interior point P on the Newton line of a quadrilateral ABCD has the property that
where denotes the area of triangle ABP.
If the quadrilateral is a tangential quadrilateral, then its incenter also lies on this line.
