If P is on the circumference of the circumscribing circle of △ABC (the circle that passes through three points A, B, and C), then D, E, and F are on the same line (figure). This line is called P's Simson line with respect to △ABC, and is called Simson's theorem after R. Simson (1687-1768), who is said to have discovered the above fact. The converse of Simson's theorem also holds. If H is the orthocenter of △ABC, P's Simson line bisects the line segment PH. ...
