Successive Pedal Triangles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
Starting with any triangle Δ ≡ ABC, let Δ1 ≡ A1B1C1 be its pedal, Δ2≡A2B2C2 the pedal of Δ1 and so on indefinitely Since the circumradius Rn of Δn is equal to 1/2Rn-1, we may expect a steady contraction towards some definite limiting point. It is proposed to inquire into the position of this point.
