Dividing a circle into areas "F" can also be derived, which will solve the problem. Its vertices include the "n" points on the circle, referred to as the exterior vertices, as well as the interior vertices, the intersections of distinct chords in the interior of the circle. The "generic intersection" assumption made above guarantees that each interior vertex is the intersection of no more than two chords. Thus the main task in determining "V" is finding the number of interior vertices. As a consequence of the lemma, any two intersecting chords will uniquely determine an interior vertex. These chords are in turn uniquely determined by
Circle of antisimilitude These eight or fewer triple crossing points are the centers of inversions that take all three circles "α", "β", and "γ" to become equal circles. For three circles that are mutually externally tangent, the (unique) circles of antisimilitude for each pair again cross each other at 120° angles in two triple intersection points that are the isodynamic points of the triangle formed by the three points of tangency. Circle of antisimilitude In inversive geometry, the circle of antisimilitude (also known as mid-circle) of two circles, "α" and "β", is a reference circle for which "α" and "β" are inverses of
