Circular Centroid Loci from Two Successive Orthogonal Projections
Two successive orthogonal projections of a triangle's vertices produce a centroid locus that is an ellipse. A reflection proof gives a circle for the 20-80-80 degree triangle, and a complex formula classifies all nondegenerate triangles with a circular locus, including the equilateral case.
