The Thebault "Conjecture" Theorem.

The Thebault's theorem.

Through the vertex A of a triangle ABC a straight line AM is drawn, cutting the side BC in M. Let O and I be the centers of the circumscribed circle O and the inscribed circle I of ABC. The circle w1 and w2 with centers w1 and w2 are each tangent to O and the first is tangent also to two sides of <AMB, while the second is tangent to the two sides of <AMC. Prove that the straight line joining w1 and w2 passes through I.

 

There are four cases for this theorem. See All four cases >>
