Euler straight line
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
The straight line passing through the point 
of intersection of the altitudes of a triangle, the point 
of intersection of its medians, and the centre 
of the circle circumscribed to it. If the Euler line passes through a vertex of the triangle, then the triangle is either isosceles or right-angled, or both right-angled and isosceles. The segments of the Euler line satisfy the relation

This line was first considered by L. Euler (1765).
