When the outer Soddy circle has positive curvature, both Soddy centers are equal detour points. When the outer Soddy circle has negative curvature, its center is the isoperimetric point: the triangles ABP 2, BCP 2, and CAP 2 have equal perimeter. In geometry, the Soddy circles of a triangle are two circles associated with any triangle in the
In geometry, the isoperimetric point is a triangle center — a special point associated with a plane triangle.The term was originally introduced by G.R. Veldkamp in a paper published in the American Mathematical Monthly in 1985 to denote a point P in the plane of a triangle ABC having the property that the triangles PBC, PCA, PAB have isoperimeters, that is, having the property that [1] [2]
Here the outer Soddy center lies outside the triangle. This analysis covers all cases in which four circles are externally tangent; one is always the inner Soddy circle of the other three. The cases in which one of the circles is internally tangent to the other three and forms their outer Soddy circle are similar.
Let the given triangle have vertices , , and , opposite the respective sides , , and , as is the standard notation in triangle geometry.In the 1886 paper in which he introduced this point, de Longchamps initially defined it as the center of a circle orthogonal to the three circles , , and , where is centered at with radius and the other two circles are defined symmetrically.

The Soddy line of a triangle is the line that goes through the centers of the two Soddy circles of that triangle. The Soddy line intersects the Euler line in the de Longchamps point and the Gergonne line in the Fletcher point. It is also perpendicular to the Gergonne line and together all three lines form the Euler-Gergonne-Soddy triangle. The ...
In Euclidean geometry, the equal detour point is a triangle center denoted by X(176) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. It is characterized by the equal detour property: if one travels from any vertex of a triangle ABC to another by taking a detour through some inner point P , then the additional distance traveled is constant.
