Langley’s Adventitious Angles the first of the three unsolved problems listed by Rigby in his 1978 paper. Langley’s Adventitious Angles Langley’s Adventitious Angles is a mathematical problem posed by Edward Mann Langley in "The Mathematical Gazette" in 1922. In its original form the problem was as follows: formula_1 is an isosceles triangle. A solution was developed by James Mercer in 1923. This solution involves drawing one additional line, and then making repeated use of the fact that the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180° to prove that several triangles drawn within the large triangle are all isosceles. Many other solutions
Incircle and excircles of a triangle using the side lengths of the triangle relative to the perimeter—i.e., using the barycentric coordinates given above, normalized to sum to unity—as weights. (The weights are positive so the incenter lies inside the triangle as stated above.) If the three vertices are located at formula_14, formula_15, and formula_16, and the sides opposite these vertices have corresponding lengths formula_7, formula_8, and formula_9, then the incenter is at Denoting the incenter of triangle "ABC" as "I", the distances from the incenter to the vertices combined with the lengths of the triangle sides obey the equation Additionally, where "R" and "r" are the
