  2. Malfatti circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfatti_circles

    Malfatti's assumption that the two problems are equivalent is incorrect. Lob and Richmond (), who went back to the original Italian text, observed that for some triangles a larger area can be achieved by a greedy algorithm that inscribes a single circle of maximal radius within the triangle, inscribes a second circle within one of the three remaining corners of the triangle, the one with the ...

  3. Isodynamic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isodynamic_point

    The pedal triangle of an isodynamic point, the triangle formed by dropping perpendiculars from to each of the three sides of triangle , is equilateral, [5] as is the triangle formed by reflecting across each side of the triangle. [7] Among all the equilateral triangles inscribed in triangle , the pedal triangle of the first isodynamic point is ...

  4. Angle trisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection

    Hutcheson constructed a cylinder from the angle to be trisected by drawing an arc across the angle, completing it as a circle, and constructing from that circle a cylinder on which a, say, equilateral triangle was inscribed (a 360-degree angle divided in three).

  5. Equilateral triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_triangle

    An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length, and all three angles are equal. Because of these properties, the equilateral triangle is a regular polygon, occasionally known as the regular triangle. It is the special case of an isosceles triangle by modern definition, creating more special properties.

  6. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    The Nagel triangle or extouch triangle of is denoted by the vertices , , and that are the three points where the excircles touch the reference and where is opposite of , etc. This T A T B T C {\displaystyle \triangle T_{A}T_{B}T_{C}} is also known as the extouch triangle of A B C {\displaystyle \triangle ABC} .

  7. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections. Drawing lines between the two original points and one of these new points completes the construction of an equilateral triangle. Therefore, in any geometric problem we have an initial set of symbols (points and lines), an algorithm, and some results.

  8. Fermat point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_point

    Fig 1. Construction of the first isogonic center, X(13). When no angle of the triangle exceeds 120°, this point is the Fermat point. In Euclidean geometry, the Fermat point of a triangle, also called the Torricelli point or Fermat–Torricelli point, is a point such that the sum of the three distances from each of the three vertices of the triangle to the point is the smallest possible [1] or ...

  9. Thébault's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thébault's_theorem

    Given a square, construct equilateral triangles on two adjacent edges, either both inside or both outside the square. Then the triangle formed by joining the vertex of the square distant from both triangles and the vertices of the triangles distant from the square is equilateral.
