where r is the inradius and R is the circumradius of the triangle. Here the sign of the distances is taken to be negative if and only if the open line segment DX (X = F, G, H) lies completely outside the triangle. In the diagram, DF is negative and both DG and DH are positive. The theorem is named after Lazare Carnot (1753–1823).

Fuss' theorem gives a relation between the inradius r, the circumradius R and the distance x between the incenter I and the circumcenter O, for any bicentric quadrilateral. The relation is [1] [11] [22] + (+) =, or equivalently
In geometry, Euler's theorem states that the distance d between the circumcenter and incenter of a triangle is given by [1] [2] = or equivalently + + =, where and denote the circumradius and inradius respectively (the radii of the circumscribed circle and inscribed circle respectively).
Carnot's theorem (inradius, circumradius), describing a property of the incircle and the circumcircle of a triangle; Carnot's theorem (conics), describing a relation between triangles and conic sections; Carnot's theorem (perpendiculars), describing a property of certain perpendiculars on triangle sides; In physics:
where r is the incircle radius and R is the circumcircle radius; hence the circumradius is at least twice the inradius (Euler's triangle inequality), with equality only in the equilateral case. [7] [8] The distance between O and the orthocenter H is [9] [10]
A complicated general formula is known for any number n of sides for the relation among the circumradius R, the inradius r, and the distance x between the circumcenter and the incenter. [5] Some of these for specific n are:
In an acute triangle, the sum of the circumradius R and the inradius r is less than half the sum of the shortest sides a and b: [4]: p.105, #2690 + < +, while the reverse inequality holds for an obtuse triangle. For an acute triangle with medians m a, m b, and m c and circumradius R, we have [4]: p.26, #954
