  2. Angle bisector theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_bisector_theorem

    Consider a triangle ABC.Let the angle bisector of angle ∠ A intersect side BC at a point D between B and C.The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of the length of the line segment BD to the length of segment CD is equal to the ratio of the length of side AB to the length of side AC:

  3. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The 'exterior' or 'external bisector' is the line that divides the supplementary angle (of 180° minus the original angle), formed by one side forming the original angle and the extension of the other side, into two equal angles. [1] To bisect an angle with straightedge and compass, one draws a circle whose center is the vertex. The circle ...

  4. Mixtilinear incircles of a triangle - Wikipedia

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

    Draw the incenter by intersecting angle bisectors. Draw a line through I {\displaystyle I} perpendicular to the line A I {\displaystyle AI} , touching lines A B {\displaystyle AB} and A C {\displaystyle AC} at points D {\displaystyle D} and E {\displaystyle E} respectively.

  5. Incircle and excircles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incircle_and_excircles

    The center of the incircle, called the incenter, can be found as the intersection of the three internal angle bisectors. [3] [4] The center of an excircle is the intersection of the internal bisector of one angle (at vertex A, for example) and the external bisectors of the other two.

  6. Cevian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cevian

    In geometry, a cevian is a line segment which joins a vertex of a triangle to a point on the opposite side of the triangle. [1] [2] Medians and angle bisectors are special cases of cevians.

  7. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    A convex quadrilateral is ex-tangential if and only if there are six concurrent angles bisectors: the internal angle bisectors at two opposite vertex angles, the external angle bisectors at the other two vertex angles, and the external angle bisectors at the angles formed where the extensions of opposite sides intersect.

  8. Incenter–excenter lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incenter–excenter_lemma

    When one of I or J is the incenter, this is the trillium theorem, with line IJ as the (internal) angle bisector of one of the triangle's angles. However, it is also true when I and J are both excenters; in this case, line IJ is the external angle bisector of one of the triangle's angles. [14]

  9. List of triangle inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_triangle_inequalities

    The parameters most commonly appearing in triangle inequalities are: the side lengths a, b, and c;; the semiperimeter s = (a + b + c) / 2 (half the perimeter p);; the angle measures A, B, and C of the angles of the vertices opposite the respective sides a, b, and c (with the vertices denoted with the same symbols as their angle measures);
