  2. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    In geometry, the incircle or inscribed circle of a triangle is the largest circle that can be contained in the triangle; it touches (is tangent to) the three sides. The center of the incircle is a triangle center called the triangle's incenter .

  3. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    The large triangle that is inscribed in the circle gets subdivided into three smaller triangles, all of which are isosceles because their upper two sides are radii of the circle. Inside each isosceles triangle the pair of base angles are equal to each other, and are half of 180° minus the apex angle at the circle's center.

  4. Mixtilinear incircles of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixtilinear_incircles_of_a...

    In plane geometry, a mixtilinear incircle of a triangle is a circle which is tangent to two of its sides and internally tangent to its circumcircle.The mixtilinear incircle of a triangle tangent to the two sides containing vertex is called the -mixtilinear incircle.

  5. Inscribed figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_figure

    Not every polygon with more than three sides is an inscribed polygon of a circle; those polygons that are so inscribed are called cyclic polygons. Every triangle can be inscribed in an ellipse, called its Steiner circumellipse or simply its Steiner ellipse, whose center is the triangle's centroid. Every triangle has an infinitude of inscribed ...

  6. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    Thales’ theorem: if AC is a diameter and B is a point on the diameter's circle, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.. In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.

  7. Law of cotangents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cotangents

    Using the usual notations for a triangle (see the figure at the upper right), where a, b, c are the lengths of the three sides, A, B, C are the vertices opposite those three respective sides, α, β, γ are the corresponding angles at those vertices, s is the semiperimeter, that is, s = ⁠ a + b + c / 2 ⁠, and r is the radius of the inscribed circle, the law of cotangents states that

  8. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    If the angle subtended by the chord at the centre is 90°, then ℓ = r √2, where ℓ is the length of the chord, and r is the radius of the circle. If two secants are inscribed in the circle as shown at right, then the measurement of angle A is equal to one half the difference of the measurements of the enclosed arcs (⌢ and ⌢).

  9. Euler's theorem in geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_theorem_in_geometry

    In geometry, Euler's theorem states that the distance d between the circumcenter and incenter of a triangle is given by [1] [2] = or equivalently + + =, where and denote the circumradius and inradius respectively (the radii of the circumscribed circle and inscribed circle respectively).
