In this paper we reformulate Miquel-Steiner's theorem and we obtain Miquel-Steiner's point locus for an arbitrary triangle. We prove that this locus is related to conjugate circles and Brocard's circle. In addition, we obtain…
A new way to define the notion of $\C$-orthocenter will be displayed by studying some propierties of four points in the plane which allows to extend the notion of Euler's line, the Six Point Circles and the three-circles theorem, for normed…
Four points ordered in the positive order on the unit circle determine the vertices of a quadrilateral, which is considered either as a euclidean or as a hyperbolic quadrilateral depending on whether the lines connecting the vertices are…
The Newton line and the associated theorems by Newton and Gauss for tetragons and quadrilaterals are closely linked to some other theorems of Euclidean geometry: a theorem by Bocher on the existence of a nine-point conic of a quadrangle, a…
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…
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…
If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…
A certain real number, depending on two neighbouring sides of a quadrilateral and the diagonal meeting these two sides at their common point, is shown to be invariant under affinity. As an application we demonstrate a nice formula for the…
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…
Newton's quadrilateral theorem can be phrased as follows. If H is a circle that is tangent to the four extended sides of a non-parallelogram quadrilateral Q, the center of H lies on the Newton line of Q. We prove that the theorem remains…
We study the possible positions of the Miquel point in the plane of a given triangle, which Miquel triangles are similar to the given one. We found out that these positions are eleven. We also study the possible positions of the Miquel…
In Euclidean geometry, a bicentric quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral that has both a circumcircle passing through the four vertices and an incircle having the four sides as tangents. Consider a bicentric quadrilateral with rational…
In the Euclidean setting, Napoleon's Theorem states that if one constructs an equilateral triangle on either the outside or the inside of each side of a given triangle and then connects the barycenters of those three new triangles, the…
Many questions about triangles and quadrilaterals with rational sides, diagonals and areas can be reduced to solving certain Diophantine equations. We look at a number of such questions including the question of approximating arbitrary…
Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…
The family of Euclidean triangles having some fixed perimeter and area can be identified with a subset of points on a nonsingular cubic plane curve, i.e., an elliptic curve; furthermore, if the perimeter and the square of the area are…
We consider the following configuration. Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with circumcenter $O$, and for each vertex $X$, let $H_X$ be the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the other three. Then…
In the Euclidean plane ${\bf{E}}^2$, fix four pairwise distinct points \begin{equation*} \label{eqA} \begin{array}{ccc} A=(a_1,a_2),\ B=(b_1,b_2),\ C=(c_1,c_2),\ D=(d_1,d_2), \end{array} \end{equation*} together with four non-zero real…
The diagonals of a quadrilateral form four component triangles (in two ways). For each of various shaped quadrilaterals, we examine 1000 triangle centers located in these four component triangles. Using a computer, we determine when the…
First, we fill in key gaps in Steiner's nice characterization of the most nearly circular ellipse which passes through the vertices of a convex quadrilateral, D. Steiner proved that there is only one pair of conjugate directions, M1 and M2,…
