Solving Euler’s Triangle Problems with Poncelet’s Pencil

چکیده
We determine the unique triangle given its orthocenter, circumcenter and another particular triangle point. The main technique is to realize the triangle as special intersection points of the circumcircle and a rectangular hyperbola in Poncelet’s pencil.

Reflections on Poncelet’s Pencil
We illustrate properties of the conics in Poncelet’s pencil using some new insights motivated by some elementary triangle constructions of Garcı́a.
متن کاملStatics and the Moduli Space of Triangles
The variance of a weighted collection of points is used to prove classical theorems of geometry concerning homogeneous quadratic functions of length (Apollonius, Feuerbach, Ptolemy, Stewart) and to deduce some of the theory of major triangle centers. We also show how a formula for the distance of the incenter to the reflection of the centroid in the nine-point center enables one to simplify Eul...
متن کاملConic Solution of Euler’s Triangle Determination Problem
We study Euler’s problem of determination of a triangle from its circumcenter, orthocenter, and incenter as a problem of geometric construction. While it cannot be solved using ruler and compass, we construct the vertices by intersecting a circle with a rectangular hyperbola, both easily constructed from the given triangle centers.
متن کاملEuler’s Triangle Determination Problem
We give a simple proof of Euler’s remarkable theorem that for a nondegenerate triangle, the set of points eligible to be the incenter is precisely the orthocentroidal disc, punctured at the nine-point center. The problem is handled algebraically with complex coordinates. In particular, we show how the vertices of the triangle may be determined from the roots of a complex cubic whose coefficient...
متن کاملEvaluation of Bi-objective Scheduling Problems by FDH, Distance and Triangle Methods
In this paper, two methods named distance and triangle methods are extended to evaluate the quality of approximation of the Pareto set from solving bi-objective problems. In order to use evaluation methods, a bi-objective problem is needed to define. It is considered the problem of scheduling jobs in a hybrid flow shop environment with sequence-dependent setup times and the objectives of minimi...
