Finsler-Hadwiger Theorem


FinslerHadwingerTheorem

Let the squares  square ABCD and  square AB^'C^'D^' share a common polygon vertex A. The midpoints Q and S of the segments B^'D and BD^' together with the centers of the original squares R and T then form another square  square QRST. This theorem is a special case of the fundamental theorem of directly similar figures (Detemple and Harold 1996).
