Barbier's theorem

In geometry, Barbier's theorem states that every curve of constant width

More generally, any compact convex planar body D has one pair of parallel supporting lines in any given
direction. A supporting line is a line that has at least one point in common with the boundary of D but no
points in common with the interior of D. The width of the body is defined as before. If the width of D is the
same in all directions, the body is said to have constant width and its boundary is a curve of constant width;
the planar body itself is called an orbiform.

Pitot theorem

A tangential quadrilateral ABCD is a closed figure of four straight
sides that are tangent to a given circle
inscribed in the quadrilateral ABCD.



This conclusion follows from the equality of the tangent segments
from the four vertices of the quadrilateral. Let the tangent points be
denoted as P (on segment AB), Q (on segment BC),
CD) and S (on segment DA). The symmetric tangent segments about
each point of ABCD are equal, e.g., BP=BQ=
DR=DS=d, and AS=AP=a. But each side of the quadrilateral is composed of two such tangent segments

The converse is also true: a circle can be inscribed into every quadrilateral in which the lengths of opposite
sides sum to the same value.

Varignon's theorem

Varignon's theorem is a statement in
geometry by Pierre Varignon that was first
published in 1731. It deals with the construction of a
particular parallelogram (Varignon parallelogram
from an arbitrary quadrangle.

The midpoints of the sides of an arbitrary
quadrangle form a parallelogram. If the quadrangle
is convex or reentrant, i.e. not a crossing
quadrangle, then the area of the parallelogram is
half as big as the area of the quadrangle




Viviani's theorem

Viviani's theorem, named after Vincenzo Viviani,
distances from any interior point to the sides of anequilateral triangle

Proof

This proof depends on the readily-proved proposition that the area of
a triangle is half its base times its height
side.

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle whose height is
Let P be any point inside the triangle, and
each of A, B, and C, forming three triangles PAB, PBC, and PCA.
Now, the areas of these triangles are
sum of these areas is equal to the area of the enclosing triangle. So we can w

and thus u + s + t = h.

Now, the areas of these triangles are , , and . They exactly fill the enclosing triangle, so the
sum of these areas is equal to the area of the enclosing triangle. So we can write:
