  • Investigating Centers of Triangles: the Fermat Point
    Investigating Centers of Triangles: The Fermat Point A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Katherine Elizabeth Strauss May 2011 Oxford, Ohio ABSTRACT INVESTIGATING CENTERS OF TRIANGLES: THE FERMAT POINT By Katherine Elizabeth Strauss Somewhere along their journey through their math classes, many students develop a fear of mathematics. They begin to view their math courses as the study of tricks and often seemingly unsolvable puzzles. There is a demand for teachers to make mathematics more useful and believable by providing their students with problems applicable to life outside of the classroom with the intention of building upon the mathematics content taught in the classroom. This paper discusses how to integrate one specific problem, involving the Fermat Point, into a high school geometry curriculum. It also calls educators to integrate interesting and challenging problems into the mathematics classes they teach. In doing so, a teacher may show their students how to apply the mathematics skills taught in the classroom to solve problems that, at first, may not seem directly applicable to mathematics. The purpose of this paper is to inspire other educators to pursue similar problems and investigations in the classroom in order to help students view mathematics through a more useful lens. After a discussion of the Fermat Point, this paper takes the reader on a brief tour of other useful centers of a triangle to provide future researchers and educators a starting point in order to create relevant problems for their students. iii iv Acknowledgements First of all, thank you to my advisor, Dr.

  • Kaleidoscopic Symmetries and Self-Similarity of Integral Apollonian Gaskets
    Kaleidoscopic Symmetries and Self-Similarity of Integral Apollonian Gaskets Indubala I Satija Department of Physics, George Mason University , Fairfax, VA 22030, USA (Dated: April 28, 2021) Abstract We describe various kaleidoscopic and self-similar aspects of the integral Apollonian gaskets - fractals consisting of close packing of circles with integer curvatures. Self-similar recursive structure of the whole gasket is shown to be encoded in transformations that forms the modular group SL(2;Z). The asymptotic scalings of curvatures of the circles are given by a special set of quadratic irrationals with continued fraction [n + 1 : 1; n] - that is a set of irrationals with period-2 continued fraction consisting of 1 and another integer n. Belonging to the class n = 2, there exists a nested set of self-similar kaleidoscopic patterns that exhibit three-fold symmetry. Furthermore, the even n hierarchy is found to mimic the recursive structure of the tree that generates all Pythagorean triplets arXiv:2104.13198v1 [math.GM] 21 Apr 2021 1 Integral Apollonian gaskets(IAG)[1] such as those shown in figure (1) consist of close packing of circles of integer curvatures (reciprocal of the radii), where every circle is tangent to three others. These are fractals where the whole gasket is like a kaleidoscope reflected again and again through an infinite collection of curved mirrors that encodes fascinating geometrical and number theoretical concepts[2]. The central themes of this paper are the kaleidoscopic and self-similar recursive properties described within the framework of Mobius¨ transformations that maps circles to circles[3].

  • Control Point Based Representation of Inellipses of Triangles∗
    Annales Mathematicae et Informaticae 40 (2012) pp. 37–46 http://ami.ektf.hu Control point based representation of inellipses of triangles∗ Imre Juhász Department of Descriptive Geometry, University of Miskolc, Hungary [email protected] Submitted April 12, 2012 — Accepted May 20, 2012 Abstract We provide a control point based parametric description of inellipses of triangles, where the control points are the vertices of the triangle themselves. We also show, how to convert remarkable inellipses defined by their Brianchon point to control point based description. Keywords: inellipse, cyclic basis, rational trigonometric curve, Brianchon point MSC: 65D17, 68U07 1. Introduction It is well known from elementary projective geometry that there is a two-parameter family of ellipses that are within a given non-degenerate triangle and touch its three sides. Such ellipses can easily be constructed in the traditional way (by means of ruler and compasses), or their implicit equation can be determined. We provide a method using which one can determine the parametric form of these ellipses in a fairly simple way. Nowadays, in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) curves are repre- sented mainly in the form n g (u) = j=0 Fj (u) dj δ Fj :[a, b] R, u [a, b] R, dj R , δ 2 P→ ∈ ⊂ ∈ ≥ ∗This research was carried out as a part of the TAMOP-4.2.1.B-10/2/KONV-2010-0001 project with support by the European Union, co-financed by the European Social Fund. 37 38 I.

  • Automated Study of Isoptic Curves: a New Approach with Geogebra∗
    Automated study of isoptic curves: a new approach with GeoGebra∗ Thierry Dana-Picard1 and Zoltan Kov´acs2 1 Jerusalem College of Technology, Israel [email protected] 2 Private University College of Education of the Diocese of Linz, Austria [email protected] March 7, 2018 Let C be a plane curve. For a given angle θ such that 0 ≤ θ ≤ 180◦, a θ-isoptic curve of C is the geometric locus of points in the plane through which pass a pair of tangents making an angle of θ.If θ = 90◦, the isoptic curve is called the orthoptic curve of C. For example, the orthoptic curves of conic sections are respectively the directrix of a parabola, the director circle of an ellipse, and the director circle of a hyperbola (in this case, its existence depends on the eccentricity of the hyperbola). Orthoptics and θ-isoptics can be studied for other curves than conics, in particular for closed smooth strictly convex curves,as in [1]. An example of the study of isoptics of a non-convex non-smooth curve, namely the isoptics of an astroid are studied in [2] and of Fermat curves in [3]. The Isoptics of an astroid present special properties: • There exist points through which pass 3 tangents to C, and two of them are perpendicular. • The isoptic curve are actually union of disjoint arcs. In Figure 1, the loops correspond to θ = 120◦ and the arcs connecting them correspond to θ = 60◦. Such a situation has been encountered already for isoptics of hyperbolas. These works combine geometrical experimentation with a Dynamical Geometry System (DGS) GeoGebra and algebraic computations with a Computer Algebra System (CAS).

  • Strophoids, a Family of Cubic Curves with Remarkable Properties
    Hellmuth STACHEL STROPHOIDS, A FAMILY OF CUBIC CURVES WITH REMARKABLE PROPERTIES Abstract: Strophoids are circular cubic curves which have a node with orthogonal tangents. These rational curves are characterized by a series or properties, and they show up as locus of points at various geometric problems in the Euclidean plane: Strophoids are pedal curves of parabolas if the corresponding pole lies on the parabola’s directrix, and they are inverse to equilateral hyperbolas. Strophoids are focal curves of particular pencils of conics. Moreover, the locus of points where tangents through a given point contact the conics of a confocal family is a strophoid. In descriptive geometry, strophoids appear as perspective views of particular curves of intersection, e.g., of Viviani’s curve. Bricard’s flexible octahedra of type 3 admit two flat poses; and here, after fixing two opposite vertices, strophoids are the locus for the four remaining vertices. In plane kinematics they are the circle-point curves, i.e., the locus of points whose trajectories have instantaneously a stationary curvature. Moreover, they are projections of the spherical and hyperbolic analogues. For any given triangle ABC, the equicevian cubics are strophoids, i.e., the locus of points for which two of the three cevians have the same lengths. On each strophoid there is a symmetric relation of points, so-called ‘associated’ points, with a series of properties: The lines connecting associated points P and P’ are tangent of the negative pedal curve. Tangents at associated points intersect at a point which again lies on the cubic. For all pairs (P, P’) of associated points, the midpoints lie on a line through the node N.

  • The Vertex-Midpoint-Centroid Triangles
    Forum Geometricorum b Volume 4 (2004) 97–109. bbb FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 The Vertex-Midpoint-Centroid Triangles Zvonko Cerinˇ Abstract. This paper explores six triangles that have a vertex, a midpoint of a side, and the centroid of the base triangle ABC as vertices. They have many in- teresting properties and here we study how they monitor the shape of ABC. Our results show that certain geometric properties of these six triangles are equivalent to ABC being either equilateral or isosceles. Let A, B, C be midpoints of the sides BC, CA, AB of the triangle ABC and − let G be its centroid (i.e., the intersection of medians AA, BB , CC ). Let Ga , + − + − + Ga , Gb , Gb , Gc , Gc be triangles BGA , CGA , CGB , AGB , AGC , BGC (see Figure 1). C − + Gb Ga B A G + − Gb Ga − + Gc Gc ABC Figure 1. Six vertex–midpoint–centroid triangles of ABC. This set of six triangles associated to the triangle ABC is a special case of the cevasix configuration (see [5] and [7]) when the chosen point is the centroid G.It has the following peculiar property (see [1]). Theorem 1. The triangle ABC is equilateral if and only if any three of the trian- = { − + − + − +} gles from the set σG Ga ,Ga ,Gb ,Gb ,Gc ,Gc have the same either perime- ter or inradius. In this paper we wish to show several similar results. The idea is to replace perimeter and inradius with other geometric notions (like k-perimeter and Brocard angle) and to use various central points (like the circumcenter and the orthocenter – see [4]) of these six triangles.

For each of six types of tetrahedra, we examine over 100 centers located on the four faces of the tetrahedron. Using a computer, we determine when any of 16 con- ditions occur (such as the four centers being coplanar). A typical result is: The lines from each vertex of a circumscriptible tetrahedron to the Gergonne points of the opposite face are concurrent. Keywords. triangle centers, tetrahedra, computer-discovered mathematics, Eu- clidean geometry. Mathematics Subject Classification (2020). 51M04, 51-08. 1. Introduction Over the centuries, many notable points have been found that are associated with an arbitrary triangle. Familiar examples include: the centroid, the circumcenter, the incenter, and the orthocenter. Of particular interest are those points that Clark Kimberling classifies as \triangle centers". He notes over 100 such points arXiv:2101.02592v1 [math.HO] 6 Jan 2021 in his seminal paper [10]. Given an arbitrary tetrahedron and a choice of triangle center (for example, the circumcenter), we may locate this triangle center in each face of the tetrahedron.

  • A Special Conic Associated with the Reuleaux Negative Pedal Curve
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOMETRY Vol. 10 (2021), No. 2, 33–49 A SPECIAL CONIC ASSOCIATED WITH THE REULEAUX NEGATIVE PEDAL CURVE LILIANA GABRIELA GHEORGHE and DAN REZNIK Abstract. The Negative Pedal Curve of the Reuleaux Triangle w.r. to a pedal point M located on its boundary consists of two elliptic arcs and a point P0. Intriguingly, the conic passing through the four arc endpoints and by P0 has one focus at M. We provide a synthetic proof for this fact using Poncelet’s porism, polar duality and inversive techniques. Additional interesting properties of the Reuleaux negative pedal w.r. to pedal point M are also included. 1. Introduction Figure 1. The sides of the Reuleaux Triangle R are three circular arcs of circles centered at each Reuleaux vertex Vi; i = 1; 2; 3. of an equilateral triangle. The Reuleaux triangle R is the convex curve formed by the arcs of three circles of equal radii r centered on the vertices V1;V2;V3 of an equilateral triangle and that mutually intercepts in these vertices; see Figure1. This triangle is mostly known due to its constant width property [4]. Keywords and phrases: conic, inversion, pole, polar, dual curve, negative pedal curve.
