English: Animated visual proof of Ptolemy's theorem, based on W. Derrick, J. Herstein (2012) Proof Without Words: Ptolemy's Theorem, The College Mathematics Journal, v 43, n 5, p 386 Date 22 May 2022
Ptolemy's theorem is a relation among these lengths in a cyclic quadrilateral. = + In Euclidean geometry, Ptolemy's theorem is a relation between the four sides and two diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral whose vertices lie on a common circle).
For four points in order around a circle, Ptolemy's inequality becomes an equality, known as Ptolemy's theorem: ¯ ¯ + ¯ ¯ = ¯ ¯. In the inversion-based proof of Ptolemy's inequality, transforming four co-circular points by an inversion centered at one of them causes the other three to become collinear, so the triangle equality for these three points (from which Ptolemy's inequality may ...
Date/Time Thumbnail Dimensions User Comment; current: 04:29, 16 February 2008: 526 × 526 (10 KB): Stotr: This is a graphic by en:User:Dicklyon which shows an application of Ptolemy's theorem to the quadrilateral made by removing a vertex from a regular pentagon yields b/a = phi, the golden ratio.
The first of these theorems is the spherical analogue of a plane theorem, and the second theorem is its dual, that is, the result of interchanging great circles and their poles. [32] Kiper et al. [ 33 ] proved a converse of the theorem: If the summations of the opposite sides are equal in a spherical quadrilateral, then there exists an ...
Euler also generalized Ptolemy's theorem, which is an equality in a cyclic quadrilateral, into an inequality for a convex quadrilateral. It states that + where there is equality if and only if the quadrilateral is cyclic. [24]: p.128–129 This is often called Ptolemy's inequality.
In mathematics, Casey's theorem, also known as the generalized Ptolemy's theorem, is a theorem in Euclidean geometry named after the Irish mathematician John Casey. Formulation of the theorem [ edit ]
