Chasles' Quadrilateral Theorem is a classical statement about four tangents to a conic that simultaneously circumscribe a circle. In its various formulations, it relates the concurrence of certain lines to the existence of confocal conics…

The circumcircle of a planar convex polygon P is a circle C that passes through all vertices of P. If such a C exists, then P is said to be cyclic. Fix C to have unit radius. While any two angles of a uniform cyclic triangle are negatively…

In the town of Saratov where he was prisonner, Poncelet, continuing the work of Euler and Steiner on polygons simultaneously inscribed in a circle and circumscribed around an other circle, proved the following generalization : "Let C and D…

In one of the three 2010/2011 issues of the journal 'MathematicalSpectrum', this author gave a three-parameter description of the entire set of integral triangles(i.e. triangles with integer side lengths)and with a 120 degree angle.This…

We characterize the topological configurations of points and lines that may arise when placing n points on a circle and drawing the n perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the corresponding convex cyclic n-gon. We also provide exact and…

It is well-known since the time of the Greeks that two disjoint circles in the plane have four common tangent lines. Cappell et al. proved a generalization of this fact for properly separated strictly convex bodies in higher dimensions. We…

Delaunay triangulations of a point set in the Euclidean plane are ubiquitous in a number of computational sciences, including computational geometry. Delaunay triangulations are not well defined as soon as 4 or more points are concyclic but…

If $ABC$ is a given triangle in the plane, $P$ is any point not on the extended sides of $ABC$ or its anticomplementary triangle, $Q$ is the complement of the isotomic conjugate of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, $DEF$ is the cevian triangle of…

Given a regular $n$-gon on the plane, it is evident that from any point on the plane, taken as a center, one can draw $n$ concentric circles such that each circle passes through one of the vertices of the polygon. Naturally, this raises the…

We provide a companion to the recent Benyi-Curgus generalization of the well-known theorems of Ceva and Menelaus, so as to characterize both the collinearity of points and the concurrence of lines determined by six points on the edges of a…

We give a short proof of a Ptolemy-style result first discovered and proved by Jane McDougall. It may be viewed as a generalization to any even number of points of the cubic relation connecting the six joint distances of four points on a…

New condition is found for the set of points in the plane, for which the locus is a circle. It is proved: the locus of points, such that the sum of the $(2m)$-th powers $S_n^{(2m)}$}of the distances to the vertexes of fixed regular…

We deal with the distribution of N points placed consecutively around the circle by a fixed angle of a. From the proof of Tony van Ravenstein, we propose a detailed proof of the Steinhaus conjecture whose result is the following: the N…

Let P be a cyclic n-gon with n\ge3, the central angles \th_0,...,\th_{n-1} in (-\pi,\pi], and the winding number w:=(\th_0+...+\th_{n-1})/(2\pi). The vertices of P are assumed to be all distinct from one another. It is then proved that P is…

We establish a simple generalization for the famous theorem of Morley about trisectors in triangle with a purely synthetic proof using only angle chasing and similar triangles. Furthermore, based on the converse construction, another simple…

If there exists a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides go through the given four collinear points, then there are infinitely many such quadrilaterals inscribed in the same circle. We give two proofs of this porism; one based on cross-ratios,…

We study convex cyclic polygons, that is, inscribed $n$-gons. Starting from P. Schreiber's idea, published in 1993, we prove that these polygons are not constructible from their side lengths with straightedge and compass, provided $n$ is at…

This study investigates a generalisation of the Pythagorean theorem to the lengths of conic arcs constructed symmetrically on the sides of a right triangle. It is demonstrated that the theorem remains valid whenever the conic eccentricity…

In this paper we derive an extended Circle Pattern Theorem that allows obtuse overlap angles. As a consequence, we characterize a subclass of compact convex hyperbolic polyhedra with possibly obtuse dihedral angles and thus generalize…

We study Poncelet's Theorem in finite projective coordinate planes over the field $GF(p)$ and concentrate on a particular pencil of conics. For pairs of such conics we investigate whether we can find polygons with $n$ sides, which are…
