Given a point
and a triangle
,
the Miquel triangle is the triangle
connecting the side points
,
, and
of
with respect to which
is the Miquel point.
Let the points defining the Miquel circles be fractional distances ,
, and
along the sides
,
, and
, respectively, and let
and
. The Miquel triangle has side lengths
(1)

and area
(4)
|
where
is the area of the reference
triangle.
In the special case ,
the Miquel triangle becomes the medial triangle.
All Miquel triangles of a given point are directly similar, and
is the similitude center
in every case.
