Lévy C curve with a straight line. An isosceles triangle with angles of 45°, 90° and 45° is built using this line as its hypotenuse. The original line is then replaced by the other two sides of this triangle. At the second stage, the two new lines each form the base for another right-angled isosceles triangle, and are replaced by the other two sides of their respective triangle. So, after two stages, the curve takes the appearance of three sides of a rectangle with the same length as the original line, but only half as wide. At each subsequent stage, each straight line
Fermat point one another at angles of 60°. The triangles RAC and BAQ are congruent because the second is a 60° rotation of the first about A. Hence ∠ARF = ∠ABF and ∠AQF = ∠ACF. By the converse of the inscribed angle theorem applied to the segment AF, the points ARBF are concyclic (they lie on a circle). Similarly, the points AFCQ are concyclic. ∠ARB = 60°, so ∠AFB = 120°, using the inscribed angle theorem. Similarly, ∠AFC = 120°. So ∠BFC = 120°. So, ∠BFC and ∠BPC add up to 180°. Using the inscribed angle theorem, this implies that the points
