In general graph theory, the only relationship between vertices are expressed via the edges. When the vertices are embedded in an Euclidean space, the geometric relationships between vertices and edges can be interesting objects of study.…
Starting from any given rational-sided, right triangle, for example the $(3,4,5)$-triangle with area $6$, we use Euclidean geometry to show that there are infinitely many other rational-sided, right triangles of the same area. We show…
We study some properties of a triad of circles associated with a triangle. Each circle is inside the triangle, tangent to two sides of the triangle, and externally tangent to the circle on the third side as diameter. In particular, we find…
In this paper we prove that if $P_1, P_2$ are isogonal points in the triangle $ABC$, and if $A_1B_1C_1$ and $A_2B_2C_2$ are their corresponding pedal triangles such that the triangles $ABC$ and $A_1B_1C_1$ are homological (the lines $AA_1,…
Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $\Delta ABP$, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord $AB$. Recently,…
Let E be a point in the plane of a convex quadrilateral ABCD. The lines from E to the vertices of the quadrilateral form four triangles. If we locate a triangle center in each of these triangles, the four triangle centers form another…
We use the idea of the broken stick problem (which goes back to Poincare) and calculate the corresponding probabilities for the cases in which the three broken part are: the medians in a triangle, the altitudes, radii of excircles, angle…
In this paper we present a way to define a set of orthocenters for a triangle in the n-dimensional space R^{n} and we will see some analogies of these orthocenters with the classic orthocenter of a triangle in the Euclidean plane.
Pythagorean triples are the positive integer solutions to the Pythagoras equation for right triangles, a2+b2 = c2. They have been studied for many years, many centuries in fact. In this short paper we present a method for computing…
In this paper, a theorem about similar triangles is proved. It shows that two small and four large triangles similar to the original triangle can appear if we choose well among several intersections of the perpendicular bisectors of the…
Among a triangle's exparabolas (parabolas escribed to the triangle), three are distinguished by having locally maximal parameter. They are determined by a simple cubic equation and characterized by having axes that contain the triangle's…
An oriented graph is a directed graph which can be obtained from a simple undirected graph by orienting its edges. In this paper we show that any oriented graph G on n vertices with minimum indegree and outdegree at least (1/2-o(1))n…
There are four characteristic circles for each triangle on a plane. All for are tangential to the three straight lines containing the triangles' three sides. Three are exterior circles, the fourth is the in-circle. When the triangle is…
It has been known since Fagnano in 1775 that an acute triangle always has a periodic billiard path, namely the orthic triangle. It is currently unknown whether every obtuse triangle has a periodic path. In 2006, Schwartz showed that every…
The main result of this paper, is the complete parametric description of the family of triangles which have integer sidelengths and with one angle being sixty degrees.
In Lorentzian geometry, limited definition of angles restricts the use of angle bisectors in study of triangles. This paper redefines angle bisectors so that they can be used to study attributes of triangles. Using the new definition, this…
The Pythagorean Theorem has been proved in hundreds of ways, yet it inspires fresh insights through geometry and trigonometry. In this paper, we offer a new proof based on three circles that circumscribe the sides of a right triangle.…
Two triangles are called orthologic if the perpendiculars from the vertices of one of them to the sides of the other are concurrent. In this paper, we explore the concept of orthology from various points of view. Mostly we work in terms of…
This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…
Let $M$ be either the 2-sphere $\SS^2 \subset\RR^3$ or the hyperbolic plane $\HH^2 \subset \RR^3$. If $\Delta(abc)$ is a geodesic triangle on $M$ with corners at $a,b,c\in M$, we denote by $\alpha, \beta, \gamma\in M$ the midpoints of their…
