Generalization

The same generalization holds for all triangles if we consider the ratio of the sizes of the triangle. For an equilateral, the ratio was 1:1:1. For the general case, I simple multiple the length of one side by the segment which is perpenducular to it.

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and activated. (click here to install Java now)

m = j*i+k*g+l*h
n = j*i+k*g-l*h
o = j*i-k*g-l*h
Simialrly or exiting the triangle in different places.
