Kosnita's theorem explained

In Euclidean geometry, Kosnita's theorem is a property of certain circles associated with an arbitrary triangle.

Let

ABC

be an arbitrary triangle,

O

its circumcenter and

Oa,Ob,Oc

are the circumcenters of three triangles

OBC

,

OCA

, and

OAB

respectively. The theorem claims that the three straight lines

AOa

,

BOb

, and

COc

are concurrent. This result was established by the Romanian mathematician Cezar Coşniţă (1910-1962).

in Clark Kimberling's list. This theorem is a special case of Dao's theorem on six circumcenters associated with a cyclic hexagon in.[1] [2] [3]
