Outer Median Triangles
نویسندگان
چکیده
(a) The medians intersect in a point interior to the triangle, called the centroid, which divides each of the medians in the ratio 2 : 1. (b) The medians form a new triangle, called the median triangle. (c) The area of the median triangle is 3/4 of the area of the given triangle in which the medians were constructed. (d) The median triangle of the median triangle is similar to the given triangle with the ratio of similarity 3/4.

Similar Triangles, Another Trace of the Golden Ratio
In this paper we investigate similar triangles which are not congruent but have two pair congruent sides. We show that greatest lower bound of values for similarity ratio of such triangles is golden ratio. For right triangles, we prove that the supremum of values for similarity ratio is the square root of the golden ratio.
متن کاملHeron Triangles: A Gergonne-Cevian-and-Median Perspective
We give effective constructions of Heron triangles by considering the intersection of a median and a cevian through the Gergonne point.
متن کاملOn the Optimality of Napoleon Triangles
An elementary geometric construction, known as Napoleon’s theorem, produces an equilateral triangle, obtained from equilateral triangles erected on the sides of any initial triangle: The centers of the three equilateral triangles erected on the sides of the arbitrarily given original triangle, all outward or all inward, are the vertices of the new equilateral triangle. In this note, we observe ...
متن کاملTriangle Contact Representations and Duality
A contact representation by triangles of a graph is a set of triangles in the plane such that two triangles intersect on at most one point, each triangle represents a vertex of the graph and two triangles intersects if and only if their corresponding vertices are adjacent. De Fraysseix, Ossona de Mendez and Rosenstiehl proved that every planar graph admits a contact representation by triangles....
