  • In this paper we show that for any triangle and any point on the circumcircle the envelope of the Wallace-Simson lines with signed angle ${\alpha}$ is a parabola. The proof is obtained naturally using polar coordinates. We also present the reparametrization of the envelope which is a linear normal curve.
