9-Point Circle Action

Questions: 1) Where exactly is the center of a triangle's 9-point circle located? That is, how would you describe to somebody how to locate it? Be sure to use appropriate vocabulary terms and be sure to be specific in your response! 2) Describe the points that are located on a triangle's 9-point circle. What exactly are these points? That is, how do these points relate to features of the triangle itself? 3) Does the center of a triangle's 9-point circle always lie inside the triangle? 4) Is it ever possible for any 2 or more of these 9 points to overlap? That is, did you observe any cases where 2 (or more) pink points coincide (lie on top of each other)? If so, describe any possible conditions/features of the triangle for which this behavior occurred. Be sure to use the tools of GeoGebra to help you provide answer(s) to this question!
