1. In the accompanying figure DEF is the pedal triangle of ABC and P, Q, R are the orthocentres of AFE, BDF, CED.

AP, BQ, CR evidently meet in the circumcentre, O, of ABC, which is the orthocentre of PQR,

2. Now the circumradius of AFE(ρa) = RcosA,

hence the sides of PQR are equal and parallel to the sides of DEF, i.e., the triangles are congruent, and their centre of perspective, L, bisects DP, EQ, FR.
