A triangle
formed by three circular arcs . By extending the arcs into
complete circles, the points of intersection , , and are obtained. This gives the three circular triangles, , , , and , which are called the associated
triangles to .
The circular triangle and its associated circles have a total of eight incircles and six circumcircles . These systems of circles
have some remarkable properties, including the Hart circle ,
which is an analog of the nine-point circle
in Feuerbach's theorem .
A closed-form set of formulas for the area of circular triangles like is given by Fewell (2006).
