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
Brocard points is at the point where the perpendicular bisector of AB meets the line through point B that is perpendicular to BC). Symmetrically, form a circle through points B and C, tangent to edge AC, and a circle through points A and C, tangent to edge AB. These three circles have a common point, the first Brocard point of triangle "ABC". See also Tangent lines to circles. The three circles just constructed are also designated as epicycles of triangle "ABC". The second Brocard point is constructed in similar fashion. Homogeneous trilinear coordinates for the first and second Brocard points are formula_8
