  2. Bisection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection

    The bisectors of two exterior angles and the bisector of the other interior angle are concurrent. [3]: p.149 Three intersection points, each of an external angle bisector with the opposite extended side, are collinear (fall on the same line as each other). [3]: p. 149

  3. Angle bisector theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_bisector_theorem

    The angle bisector theorem is commonly used when the angle bisectors and side lengths are known. It can be used in a calculation or in a proof. An immediate consequence of the theorem is that the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle will also bisect the opposite side.

  4. 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. The name "cevian" comes from the Italian mathematician Giovanni Ceva , who proved a well-known theorem about cevians which also bears his name.

  5. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    Any median (which is necessarily a bisector of the triangle's area) is concurrent with two other area bisectors each of which is parallel to a side. [1] A cleaver of a triangle is a line segment that bisects the perimeter of the triangle and has one endpoint at the midpoint of one of the three sides.

  6. Internal and external angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

    If every internal angle of a simple polygon is less than a straight angle (π radians or 180°), then the polygon is called convex. In contrast, an external angle (also called a turning angle or exterior angle) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side. [1]: pp. 261–264

  7. 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.

  8. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    Exterior angles are commonly used in Logo Turtle programs when drawing regular polygons. In a triangle, the bisectors of two exterior angles and the bisector of the other interior angle are concurrent (meet at a single point). [18]: 149 In a triangle, three intersection points, each of an external angle bisector with the opposite extended side ...

  9. Exterior angle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_angle_theorem

    The exterior angle theorem is not valid in spherical geometry nor in the related elliptical geometry. Consider a spherical triangle one of whose vertices is the North Pole and the other two lie on the equator. The sides of the triangle emanating from the North Pole (great circles of the sphere) both meet the equator at right angles, so this ...
