  2. Malfatti circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfatti_circles

    Malfatti's assumption that the two problems are equivalent is incorrect. Lob and Richmond (), who went back to the original Italian text, observed that for some triangles a larger area can be achieved by a greedy algorithm that inscribes a single circle of maximal radius within the triangle, inscribes a second circle within one of the three remaining corners of the triangle, the one with the ...

  3. 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 .

  4. Incenter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incenter

    In Euclid's Elements, Proposition 4 of Book IV proves that this point is also the center of the inscribed circle of the triangle. The incircle itself may be constructed by dropping a perpendicular from the incenter to one of the sides of the triangle and drawing a circle with that segment as its radius. [3]

  5. 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.

  6. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    In the figure at right, given circle k with centre O and the point P outside k, bisect OP at H and draw the circle of radius OH with centre H. OP is a diameter of this circle, so the triangles connecting OP to the points T and T′ where the circles intersect are both right triangles.

  7. Inscribed figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_figure

    Inscribed circles of various polygons An inscribed triangle of a circle A tetrahedron (red) inscribed in a cube (yellow) which is, in turn, inscribed in a rhombic triacontahedron (grey). (Click here for rotating model) In geometry, an inscribed planar shape or solid is one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside another geometric shape or ...

  8. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    In every triangle a unique circle, called the incircle, can be inscribed such that it is tangent to each of the three sides of the triangle. [19] About every triangle a unique circle, called the circumcircle, can be circumscribed such that it goes through each of the triangle's three vertices. [20]

  9. 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 A {\displaystyle A} is called the A {\displaystyle A} -mixtilinear incircle.
