Third Morley Triangle
MorleysThirdTriangle
The third Morley triangle is made by rotating line BC toward vertex A about vertex B by angle (B+4pi)/3. It is an equilateral triangle.
It has trilinear vertex matrix
(Kimberling 1998, p. 165).
Its signed side lengths are
| a^'=b^'=c^'=8Rsin[1/3(A-4pi)]sin[1/3(B-4pi)]sin[1/3(C-4pi)] |

giving an area of
| A=16sqrt(2)R^2sin^2[1/3(A-4pi)]sin^2[1/3(B-4pi)]sin^2[1/3(C-4pi)]. |
