If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into six small triangles. We give theorems about the relationships between the radii of the circumcircles of these triangles. We also state some…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into smaller triangles of various sizes. We give theorems about the relationship between the radii of certain excircles of some of these…
If P is a point inside triangle ABC, then the cevians through P extended to the circumcircle of triangle ABC create a figure containing a number of curvilinear triangles. Each curvilinear triangle is bounded by an arc of the circumcircle…
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…
Let P be a point inside a convex quadrilateral ABCD. The lines from P to the vertices of the quadrilateral divide the quadrilateral into four triangles. If we locate a triangle center in each of these triangles, the four triangle centers…
The Six Circles Theorem of C. Evelyn, G. Money-Coutts, and J. Tyrrell concerns chains of circles inscribed into a triangle: the first circle is inscribed in the first angle, the second circle is inscribed in the second angle and tangent to…
For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, we define two sequences of points on line $BC$ and provide their generalizations to real functions such that centers of circumscribed circles around $A$ and adjacent points in subsequences generate a…
We revisit constructions based on triads of conics with foci at pairs of vertices of a reference triangle. We find that their 6 vertices lie on well-known conics, whose type we analyze. We give conditions for these to be circles and/or…
We give a formula for counting the triangles in a picture consisting of the three sides of a triangle and some cevians. This lets us prove statements that are claimed without proof in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and some…
In 1840 Jacob Steiner on Christian Rudolf's request proved that a triangle with two equal bisectors is isosceles. But what about changing the bisectors to cevians? Cevian is any line segment in a triangle with one endpoint on a vertex of…
We consider closed chains of circles $C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_n,C_{n+1}=C_1$ such that two neighbouring circles $C_i,C_{i+1}$ intersect or touch each other with $A_i$ being a common point. We formulate conditions such that a polygon with vertices…
Three circles define each of the Brocard points of a triangle. If one adds the three circles through a pair of vertices and the orthocentre one has nine circles. It is described how each of the nine centres of these circles lies at the…
For a given triangle $T$ and a real number $\rho$ we define Ceva's triangle $\CT_\rho(T)$ to be the triangle formed by three cevians each joining a vertex of $T$ to the point which divides the opposite side in the ratio $\rho:(1-\rho)$. We…
In a previous paper we defined the circumconic of a triangle $ABC$ with respect to a point $P$ as the conic $\tilde C=T_{P'}^{-1}(N_{P'})$, where $N_{P'}$ is the $9$-point conic for the quadrangle $ABCP'$ with respect to the line at…
John Conway's Circle Theorem is a gem of plane geometry. The six points formed by continuing the sides of a triangle beyond every vertex by the length of its opposite side, are concyclic. The theorem has attracted several proofs. We present…
The Cramer-Castillon problem (CCP) consists in finding one or more polygons inscribed in a circle such that their sides pass cyclically through a list of $N$ points. We study this problem where the points are the vertices of a triangle and…
Starting with any nondegenerate triangle we can use a well defined interior point of the triangle to subdivide it into six smaller triangles. We can repeat this process with each new triangle, and continue doing so over and over. We show…
The diagonals of a quadrilateral form four associated triangles, called half triangles. Each half triangle is bounded by two sides of the quadrilateral and one diagonal. If we locate a triangle center (such as the incenter, centroid,…
The three Apollonius circles of a triangle, each passing through a triangle vertex, the corresponding vertex of the cevian triangle of the incenter and the corresponding vertex of the circumcevian triangle of the symmedian point, are…
The incircle of a triangle touches the sides of the triangle in three points. It is well known that the lines from these points to the opposite vertices meet at a point known as the Gergonne point of the triangle. We use a computer to…
