Invite you to consult the documentation | Conic Construction of a Triangle from the Feet of Its Angle Bisectors Paul Yiu Abstract. We study an extension of the problem of construction of a triangle from the feet of its internal angle bisectors. Given a triangle ABC, we give a conic construction of points which are the incenter or excenters of their own anticevian triangles with respect to ABC. If the given triangle contains a right angle, a very simple ruler-and-compass construction is possible. We also examine the case when the feet of the three external angle bisectors are three given points on a line. 1. The angle bisectors problem In this note we address the problem of construction of a triangle from the endpoints of its angle bisectors. This is Problem 138 in Wernick’s list [3]. The corresponding problem of determining a triangle from the lengths of its angle bisectors have been settled by Mironescu and Panaitopol [2]. A′ B C P B′ C′ A Figure 1. The angle bisectors problem Given a triangle ABC, we seek, more generally, a triangle A′ B ′ C ′ such that the lines A′ A, B ′ B, C ′ C bisect the angles B ′ A′ C ′ , C ′ A′ B ′ , A′ C ′ B ′ , internally or externally. In this note, we refer to this as the angle bisectors problem. With reference to triangle ABC, A′ B ′ C ′ is the anticevian triangle of a point P , which is the incenter or an excenter of triangle A′ B ′ C ′ . It is an excenter if two of the lines A′ P , B ′ P , C ′ P are external angle bisectors and the remaining one an internal angle bisector. For a nondegenerate triangle ABC, we show in §3 that the angle bisectors problem always have real solutions, as intersections of three cubics. We proceed to provide a conic solution in §§4, 5, 6. The particular case of right triangles has an To appear in Journal for Geometry and Graphics, 12 (2008) 133–144. 1 2 P. Yiu elegant ruler-and-compass solution which we provide in §7. Finally, the construction of a triangle from the feet of its external angle bisectors will be considered in §8. In .
