SPIEKER CENTER

In the plane of any triangle ABC, let

D = midpoint of BC,
E = midpoint of CA,
F = midpoint of AB;

d = bisector of angle FDE,
e = bisector of angle DEF,
f = bisector of angle EFD.

The lines d, e, f meet in a point, labeled S in the figure. Called the Spieker center, S is the center of mass of the perimeter of triangle ABC, as proved in
