Hexagon on the circumcircle of an acute triangle at the six points (including three triangle vertices) where the extended altitudes of the triangle meet the circumcircle, then the area of the hexagon is twice the area of the triangle. Let ABCDEF be a hexagon formed by six tangent lines of a conic section. Then Brianchon's theorem states that the three main diagonals AD, BE, and CF intersect at a single point. In a hexagon that is tangential to a circle and that has consecutive sides "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", and "f", If an equilateral triangle is constructed externally on each
Pappus's hexagon theorem Pappus's hexagon theorem In mathematics, Pappus's hexagon theorem (attributed to Pappus of Alexandria) states that given one set of collinear points "A", "B", "C", and another set of collinear points "a", "b", "c", then the intersection points "X", "Y", "Z" of line pairs "Ab" and "aB", "Ac" and "aC", "Bc" and "bC" are collinear, lying on the "Pappus line". These three points are the points of intersection of the "opposite" sides of the hexagon "AbCaBc". It holds in a projective plane over any field, but fails for projective planes over any noncommutative division ring. Projective planes in which the "theorem"
