where r is the inradius and R is the circumradius of the triangle. Here the sign of the distances is taken to be negative if and only if the open line segment DX (X = F, G, H) lies completely outside the triangle. In the diagram, DF is negative and both DG and DH are positive. The theorem is named after Lazare Carnot (1753–1823).
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).
By Euler's theorem in geometry, the distance between the circumcenter O and the incenter I is ¯ = (), where r is the incircle radius and R is the circumcircle radius; hence the circumradius is at least twice the inradius (Euler's triangle inequality), with equality only in the equilateral case.
The action principle can be extended to obtain the equations of motion for fields, such as the electromagnetic field or gravitational field. Maxwell's equations can be derived as conditions of stationary action. The Einstein equation utilizes the Einstein–Hilbert action as constrained by a variational principle.
Fuss' theorem gives a relation between the inradius r, the circumradius R and the distance x between the incenter I and the circumcenter O, for any bicentric quadrilateral. The relation is [1] [11] [22] + (+) =, or equivalently
Carnot's theorem (inradius, circumradius), describing a property of the incircle and the circumcircle of a triangle; Carnot's theorem (conics), describing a relation between triangles and conic sections; Carnot's theorem (perpendiculars), describing a property of certain perpendiculars on triangle sides; In physics:
The sum of the squared distances from the vertices of a regular n-gon to any point on its circumcircle equals 2nR 2 where R is the circumradius. [4]: p. 73 The sum of the squared distances from the midpoints of the sides of a regular n-gon to any point on the circumcircle is 2nR 2 − 1 / 4 ns 2, where s is the side length and R is the ...
Tangential quadrilateral with inradius r. The four line segments between the center of the incircle and the points where it is tangent to the quadrilateral partition the quadrilateral into four right kites. If a line cuts a tangential quadrilateral into two polygons with equal areas and equal perimeters, then that line passes through the ...
