Circumcenter, Circumcircle and Centroid of a Triangle

Roland Coghetto (2016)

Formalized Mathematics

Similarity:

We introduce, using the Mizar system [1], some basic concepts of Euclidean geometry: the half length and the midpoint of a segment, the perpendicular bisector of a segment, the medians (the cevians that join the vertices of a triangle to the midpoints of the opposite sides) of a triangle. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the circumcenter of a triangle (the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle). The extended law of sines and the formula...

Morley’s Trisector Theorem

Roland Coghetto (2015)

Formalized Mathematics

Similarity:

Morley’s trisector theorem states that “The points of intersection of the adjacent trisectors of the angles of any triangle are the vertices of an equilateral triangle” [10]. There are many proofs of Morley’s trisector theorem [12, 16, 9, 13, 8, 20, 3, 18]. We follow the proof given by A. Letac in [15].

Some Facts about Trigonometry and Euclidean Geometry

Roland Coghetto (2014)

Formalized Mathematics

Similarity:

We calculate the values of the trigonometric functions for angles: [XXX] , by [16]. After defining some trigonometric identities, we demonstrate conventional trigonometric formulas in the triangle, and the geometric property, by [14], of the triangle inscribed in a semicircle, by the proposition 3.31 in [15]. Then we define the diameter of the circumscribed circle of a triangle using the definition of the area of a triangle and prove some identities of a triangle [9]. We conclude by...

Distinct equilateral triangle dissections of convex regions

Diane M. Donovan, James G. Lefevre, Thomas A. McCourt, Nicholas J. Cavenagh (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We define a proper triangulation to be a dissection of an integer sided equilateral triangle into smaller, integer sided equilateral triangles such that no point is the vertex of more than three of the smaller triangles. In this paper we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper triangulation of a convex region to exist. Moreover we establish precisely when at least two such equilateral triangle dissections exist. We also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
