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)]
(2)

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)].
