  2. Newton's theorem (quadrilateral) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem...

    Newton's theorem can easily be derived from Anne's theorem considering that in tangential quadrilaterals the combined lengths of opposite sides are equal (Pitot theorem: a + c = b + d). According to Anne's theorem, showing that the combined areas of opposite triangles PAD and PBC and the combined areas of triangles PAB and PCD are equal is ...

  3. Newton–Gauss line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Gauss_line

    Labels used in proof concerning complete quadrilateral. It is a well-known theorem that the three midpoints of the diagonals of a complete quadrilateral are collinear. [2] There are several proofs of the result based on areas [2] or wedge products [3] or, as the following proof, on Menelaus's theorem, due to Hillyer and published in 1920. [4]

  4. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    In Euclidean geometry, the intersecting chords theorem, or just the chord theorem, is a statement that describes a relation of the four line segments created by two intersecting chords within a circle. It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal. It is Proposition 35 of Book 3 of Euclid's Elements.

  5. Ptolemy's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy's_theorem

    More generally, if the quadrilateral is a rectangle with sides a and b and diagonal d then Ptolemy's theorem reduces to the Pythagorean theorem. In this case the center of the circle coincides with the point of intersection of the diagonals. The product of the diagonals is then d 2, the right hand side of Ptolemy's relation is the sum a 2 + b 2.

  6. Varignon's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem

    An arbitrary quadrilateral and its diagonals. Bases of similar triangles are parallel to the blue diagonal. Ditto for the red diagonal. The base pairs form a parallelogram with half the area of the quadrilateral, A q, as the sum of the areas of the four large triangles, A l is 2 A q (each of the two pairs reconstructs the quadrilateral) while that of the small triangles, A s is a quarter of A ...

  7. Tangential quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_quadrilateral

    If the incircle is tangent to the sides AB, BC, CD, DA at T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4 respectively, and if N 1, N 2, N 3, N 4 are the isotomic conjugates of these points with respect to the corresponding sides (that is, AT 1 = BN 1 and so on), then the Nagel point of the tangential quadrilateral is defined as the intersection of the lines N 1 N 3 and N ...

  8. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    A quadric quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on the perimeter of a square. [7] A diametric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral having one of its sides as a diameter of the circumcircle. [8] A Hjelmslev quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two right angles at opposite vertices. [9]

  9. Complete quadrangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_quadrangle

    A complete quadrangle (at left) and a complete quadrilateral (at right).. In mathematics, specifically in incidence geometry and especially in projective geometry, a complete quadrangle is a system of geometric objects consisting of any four points in a plane, no three of which are on a common line, and of the six lines connecting the six pairs of points.
