Griffiths' theorem

Griffiths' theorem, named after John Griffiths (1837-1916), is a theorem in elementary geometry.

It states that all the pedal circles for a points located on a line through the center of the triangle's circumcircle share a common (fixed) point.

[1] Griffiths published the theorem in the Educational Times in 1857.

Its later rediscoveries include works by M. Weil in Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques, 1880, and by W. S. McCay in Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, 1889.

[2][3] Additionally, in 1906, Georges Fontené [fr] refound the theorem.

Griffiths' theorem: every red circle is a pedal circle of a blue point on the line through the circumcenter O , and G is the Griffiths point
