Second Morley Triangle
MorleysSecondTriangle
The second Morley triangle is made by rotating line BC toward vertex A about vertex B by angle (B+2pi)/3. It is an equilateral triangle.
It has trilinear vertex matrix
(Kimberling 1998, p. 165).
Its signed side lengths s^'=a^'=b^'=c^' are
| s^'=8Rsin[1/3(A-2pi)]sin[1/3(B-2pi)]sin[1/3(C-2pi)], |

|
giving an area of
| A=16sqrt(2)R^2sin^2[1/3(A-2pi)]sin^2[1/3(B-2pi)]sin^2[1/3(C-2pi)]. |
