The excenters of bicentric polygons are concyclic

Metric Geometry 2025-03-10 v1

Abstract

We show that the centers of the excircles of a bicentric polygon BB are concyclic on a circle EE. The center of the circumscribed circle KK of BB is the midpoint of the center of EE and the center of the inscribed circle CC of BB. The radius of EE is given by a simple formula in terms of the radii of CC and KK and the distance between their centers.
