corollary of Morley’s theorem


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

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

A⁢Q⋅B⁢R=A⁢R⋅B⁢P.
