corollary of Morley’s theorem


We describe here, informally, a limiting case of Morley’s theorem.

One of the vertices of the triangle ABC, namely C, has been pushed off to infinity. Instead of two segments BC and CA, plus two trisectors between them, we now have four parallelMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath and equally spaced lines. The triangle PQR is still equilateral, and the three triangles adjacentPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath to it are still isosceles, but one of those has become equilateral. We have

AQBR=ARBP.
