Egalitarian measures

A question I got asked I while ago: If $T$ is a triangle in $\mathbb R^2$, is there a function $f:T\to\mathbb R$ such that the integral of $f$ over each straight segment connecting two points in the ...

Equational theory of the orthocenter

Previously asked at MSE: Briefly speaking, I'm looking for a description of the equational theory of the orthocenter function, $\mathsf{orth}$. By $\mathsf{orth}$ I mean the (partial) function sending ...

How many equilaterals have vertices intersections of angle trisectors of a triangle?

The celebrated Morley’s theorem ensures that the interior trisectors, proximal to sides respectively, meet at vertices of an equilateral. In the paper Trisectors like Bisectors with Equilaterals ...

Random graphs with prescibed degrees and triangles

In short: a random graph model generates (multi-)graphs with prescribed number of edges and minimal number of triangles for each vertex. Questions arise about the actual number of triangles and the ...

Which theorems have Pythagoras' Theorem as a special case?

Loomis famously wrote hundreds of proofs of Pythagoras' Theorem (reference below), but these are all basically proofs "from below". Today on Twitter @panlepan mentioned Carnot's theorem ...

Are there infinitely many "generalized triangle vertices"?

Briefly, I'd like to know whether there are infinitely many "generalized triangle centers" which - like the orthocenter - are indistinguishable from a vertex of the original triangle. This ...

Series for envelope of triangle area bisectors

The lines which bisect the area of a triangle form an envelope as shown in this picture It is not difficult to show that the ratio of the area of the red deltoid to the area of the triangle is $$\...

Generalization of Stewart's theorem?

I'm curious about the generalization of Stewart's theorem to more dimensions. MathWorld mentions that there is a generalization done by Bottema, but I could not find much information on it. All I ...

Relationship between triangle free graphs and their minimum degree

Let $T$ be a triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta$ (which can be $0$). How does one show that $n >2\delta -1$? It seems to be true for bipartite graphs, but I cannot see ...

Inequality from a point in plane to a triangle OR Inequality on a quadrilateral

If points $A$, $B$, $C$ form a triangle in euclidean space and $D$ is another point in the plane of the triangle, the problem is to show that : $\frac{AB}{DA + DB} + \frac{BC}{DB + DC} \ge \frac{AC}{...

Is the orthocenter "(roughly) equationally finitely-based"?

Let $T$ be the "almost everywhere" equational theory of the orthocenter function, "tweaked appropriately" to avoid partiality issues (see this earlier question of mine for details)....

On dissecting a triangle into another triangle

It is easy to see that an equilateral triangle can be cut into 2 identical 30-60-90 degrees right triangles which can then be patched together to form a 30-30-120 degrees triangle. So, via 2 ...
