BCI Triangle


BCITriangle

The BCI triangle DeltaA^'B^'C^' of a triangle DeltaABC with incenter I is defined by letting A^' be the center of the incircle of DeltaBCI, and similarly defining B^' and C^'.

BCITrianglePerspective

The triangles DeltaABC and DeltaA^'B^'C^' are in perspective, the perspector being the first de Villiers point, which is Kimberling center X_(1127).

The BCI triangle has trilinear vertex matrix

 [1 1+2cos(1/2C) 1+2cos(1/2B); 1+2cos(1/2C) 1 1+2cos(1/2A); 1+2cos(1/2B) 1+2cos(1/2A) 1].

The following table gives some centers of the BCI triangle in terms of the centers of the reference triangle that correspond to Kimberling centers X_n for n<=1000.
