Then the segments connecting the centroids of the three equilateral triangles themselves form an equilateral triangle. Let the original triangle be ABC with equilateral triangle ABC , CAB , and BCA built on its sides. Think of all the vertices involved as complex numbers. We shall apply a classical criterion to the three equilateral triangles. Let j be a suitable rotation through 120 o . Then the fact that triangles ABC , CAB , and BCA are equilateral may be expressed as A + jB + j C C + jA + j B B + jC + j A The center of ABC is given by P = (A + B + C and similarly for centers Q and R of triangles CAB and BCA Q = (C + A + B and R = (B + C + A We want to show that P + jQ + j R = 0. Indeed, 3(P + jQ + j R) = A + B + C + j(C + A + B ) + j (B + C + A = (B + jA + j C) + j(A + jB + j C ) + j (C + jA + j B Napoleon's Theorem Alexander Bogomolny Search: All Products Apparel Baby Beauty Books DVD Electronics Gourmet Food Personal Care Housewares Magazines Musical Instruments Music Computers Software VHS Computer Games Cell Phones Keywords:
Extractions: Go to my home page Apparently Napoleon Bonaparte came up with this theorem: On any triangle, draw equilateral triangles on each side. Then the lines connecting the centers of these equilateral triangles form another equilateral triangle (the one in red here). This equilateral triangle is called the outer Napoleon triangle. The theorem also works for the inner Napoleon triangle (right, in red). Here the equilateral triangles are drawn toward the inside of the original triangle. And the area of the outer Napoleon triangle, minus the area of the inner Napoleon triangle, is equal to the area of the original triangle.

The theorem states that for any arbitrary triangle, if you construct an equilateral triangle on each edge, and join the centers of the incircles of these triangles, then the resulting triangle is equilateral. The theorem is named for, and supposedly discovered by, Napoleon Bonaparte, himself no stranger to tours de force. Now lets join the centers of these circles. Shading the resulting triangle makes it stand out from the cats cradle of lines and circles. If youre not convinced that it is indeed equilateral - and why should you be, Napoleon was more famous for geopolitics than geometry - inspect its side lengths

Extractions: Cover Foreword Definitions Theorems Dear Children, Do you know that until fifty years ago most of mathematics was done by humans? Even more strangely, they used human language to state and prove mathematical theorems. Even when they started to use computers to prove theorems, they always translated the proof into the imprecise human language, because, ironically, computer proofs were considered of questionable rigor! Only thirty years ago, when more and more mathematics was getting done by computer, people realized how silly it is to go back-and-forth from the precise programming-language to the imprecise humanese. At the historical ICM 2022, the IMS (International Math Standards) were introduced, and Maple was chosen the official language for mathematical communication. They also realized that once a theorem is stated precisely, in Maple, the proof process can be started right away, by running the program-statement of the theorem. All the theorems that were known to our grandparents, and most of what they called conjectures, can now be proved in a few nano-seconds on any PC. As you probably know, computers have since discovered much deeper theorems for which we only have semi-rigorous proofs, because a complete proof would take too long.
Cut The Knot! Napoleon s theorem states that the centers of the three outer Napoleon Napoleon s theorem (both for outer and inner constructions) follows when n = 3. http://www.maa.org/editorial/knot/Napolegon.html
Extractions: by Alex Bogomolny March 1999 A remarkable theorem has been attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, although his relation to the theorem is questioned in all sources available to me. This can be said, though: mathematics flourished in post-revolutionary France and mathematicians were held in great esteem in the new Empire. Laplace was a Minister of the Interior under Napoleon, albeit only for six short weeks. On the sides of a triangle construct equilateral triangles (outer or inner Napoleon triangles). Napoleon's theorem states that the centers of the three outer Napoleon triangles form another equilateral triangle. The statement also holds for the three inner triangles. The theorem admits a series of generalizations. The add-on triangles may have an arbitrary shape provided they are similar and properly oriented. Then any triple of the corresponding (in the sense of the similarity) points form a triangle of the same shape . Another generalization was kindly brought to my attention by Steve Gray. This time, the construction starts with an arbitrary n-gon (thought to be oriented) and proceeds in (n - 2) steps. The end result at every step is another n-gon, the last of which is either regular or star-shaped. Napoleon's theorem (both for outer and inner constructions) follows when n = 3. I shall follow the articles by B.H.Neumann (1942) and J.Douglass (1940).

Extractions: by Alex Bogomolny July 2002 As the two most recent columns have been devoted to synthetic proofs of a curious result , I've been looking for an example or two of an illuminating analytic proof. I found quite a few. Two such appear below. In the process I made a small, but surprising, discovery that is reflected in the title of the present column. The three altitudes of a triangle meet at a point known as the orthocenter of the triangle. There are many proofs of that result. Here's one that uses complex numbers. Given ABC, we may assume its vertices lie on a circle centered at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. Let's think of points in the plane as complex numbers. Define H = A + B + C, a simple symmetric function of all the vertices. In fact, H is the common point of the three altitudes of the triangle. Indeed, for AH and BC to be orthogonal, the ratio (H - A)/(B - C) must be purely imaginary. But (H - A)/(B - C) + B C - BC = (B C - BC where denotes the conjugate operator. If X denotes the latter expression
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE The famous Napoleon theorem is stated by Coxeter and Greitzer as follows Ifequilateral triangles are erected externally on the sides of any triangle, http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/bstud/napoleon.html
Extractions: Emperor of the French The famous Napoleon Theorem is stated by Coxeter and Greitzer as follows: If equilateral triangles are erected externally on the sides of any triangle, their centers form an equilateral triangle. They continue with a historical anecdote: It is known that Napoleon Bonaparte was a bit of a mathematician with a great interest in geometry. In fact, there is a story that, before he made himself ruler of the French, he engaged in a discussion with the great mathematicians Lagrange and Laplace until the latter told him, severely, "The last thing we want from you, general, is a lesson in geometry." Laplace became his chief military engineer. Coxeter and Greitzer then remark that Napoleon probably did not know enough geometry to discover Napoleon's Theorem, just as he probably did not know enough English to compose the palindrome often attributed to him: Able was I ere I saw Elba. The portrait is by Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767-1824). I thank the MAA for permission to quote from H. S. M. Coxeter and S. L. Greitzer
Principles Of Nature: Napoleon's Theorem Napoleon s theorem, also holds true for centripetallyerected triangles If we combine the Napoleon theorem with the new relative unit of area (the etu), http://www.principlesofnature.net/references/Napoleons_theorem_in_geometry.htm
Extractions: Principles of Nature: towards a new visual language Appendix 2 Excerpt from (W Roberts, 2003) reformatted for web presentation. Napoleon's Theorem . Apparently Napoleon Bonaparte had a strong interest in geometry and this theory has been attributed to him. If equilateral triangles are erected externally on the sides of any triangle, their centers form an equilateral triangle. Similarly, if equilateral triangles are erected internally (or centripetally) around the sides of any triangle as in Figure A-2.2, their centres also form an equilateral triangle known as the inner Napoleon triangle We do not prove it here, but the difference in area between the outer and inner Napoleon triangles around any triangle is equal to the area of the original triangle in question If we combine the Napoleon Theorem with the new relative unit of area the etu ), we see a most interesting relation, p representing the difference in areas of the outer and inner napoleon triangles expressed in etu. An etu is the area of an equilateral triangle of unitary side length back to top

We will also later use our new knowledge of the area of a eutrigon (in terms of these relative units of area, etu ) in the algebraic interpretation of the geometric construction (figure resonant scale structure visually proves the theorem The area of any eutrigon (shaded in figure ) is equal to the sum of the areas of the equilateral triangles on its legs a and b , minus the area of the equilateral triangle on its hypotenuse, c
