Splitter (geometry)In Euclidean geometry, a splitter is a line segment through one of the vertices of a triangle (that is, a cevian) that bisects the perimeter of the triangle. They are not to be confused with cleavers, which also bisect the perimeter but instead emanate from the midpoint of one of the triangle's sides. The opposite endpoint of a splitter to the chosen triangle vertex lies at the point on the triangle's side where one of the excircles of the triangle is tangent to that side. This point is also called a splitting point of the triangle.
Mandart inellipseIn geometry, the Mandart inellipse of a triangle is an ellipse inscribed within the triangle, tangent to its sides at the contact points of its excircles (which are also the vertices of the extouch triangle and the endpoints of the splitters). The Mandart inellipse is named after H. Mandart, who studied it in two papers published in the late 19th century. As an inconic, the Mandart inellipse is described by the parameters where a, b, and c are sides of the given triangle.
Nagel pointIn geometry, the Nagel point (named for Christian Heinrich von Nagel) is a triangle center, one of the points associated with a given triangle whose definition does not depend on the placement or scale of the triangle. It is the point of concurrency of all three of the triangle's splitters. Given a triangle △ABC, let T_A, T_B, T_C be the extouch points in which the A-excircle meets line BC, the B-excircle meets line CA, and the C-excircle meets line AB, respectively. The lines AT_A, BT_B, CT_C concur in the Nagel point N of triangle △ABC.
Cercles inscrit et exinscrits d'un triangleÉtant donnés trois points non alignés A, B et C du plan, il existe quatre cercles tangents aux trois droites (AB), (AC) et (BC). Ce sont le cercle inscrit (celui qui est intérieur au triangle) et les cercles exinscrits du triangle ABC. Bissectrice Un cercle tangent aux trois droites (AB), (BC), (CA) doit posséder un centre équidistant de ces trois droites. Or l'ensemble des points équidistants de deux droites sécantes (d1) et (d2) forme deux droites perpendiculaires, constituées des quatre demi-droites bissectrices chacune d'un des quatre secteurs angulaires construits par les droites (d1) et (d2), et appelées bissectrices des droites (d1) et (d2).
