A Steiner conic, also known as a Steiner curve or a Steiner ellipse, is a specific type of conic section used in projective geometry and other areas of mathematics. It is defined in the context of a given triangle. For a triangle with vertices \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \), the Steiner conic is the unique conic that passes through the triangle's vertices and has the following additional properties: 1. Its foci are located at the triangle's centroid.
