The Euler Line is an interesting line in any triangle that passes through the 3 points described below:

CIRCUMCENTER (3) = intersection of the perpendicular bisectors (a perpendicular bisector is a line that is
perpendicular to a side of a triangle and intersects at its midpoint … see 1 & 2 in the figure below)

CENTROID (6) = intersection of the medians (a median is a line from the vertex of a triangle to the opposite
midpoint … see 4 & 5 in the figure below)

ORTHOCENTER (9) = intersection of the altitudes (an altitude is a line that is perpendicular to a side of a triangle
and intersects the opposite vertex … see 7 & 8 in the figure below)
