Sine-triple-angle circle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In triangle geometry, the sine-triple-angle circle is one of many circles that can be defined from a triangle.[1][2] For triangle ABC, let A1 and A2 be points on side BC , with B1, B2, C1 and C2 defined similarly on CA and AB respectively. If

Sine-Triple-Angle Circle

and

then A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 lie on a circle called the sine-triple-angle circle,[3] originally referred to by Tucker and Neuberg as the cercle triplicateur.[4]

Properties

where R is the circumradius of triangle ABC.

Center

The center of sine-triple-angle circle is a triangle center designated as X(49) in Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers.[7][9] with trilinear coordinates

.

Generalization

For a given natural number n>0, if

and

then

and

A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 are concyclic.[8] The sine-triple-angle circle is the special case where n=2.
