1 Research & Reviews: Journal of tatistics and Mathematical ciences A Note on the First Fermat-Torricelli Point Naga Vijay Krishna D* Department of Mathematics, Narayana Educational Institutions, Bangalore, India Research Article Received: 08/07/0 Accepted: /08/0 Published: /08/0 ABTRACT The aim of this note is to prove some well-known results related to the Fermat-Torricelli point in a new prominent way. *For Correspondence Department of Mathematics, Narayana Educational Institutions, Bangalore, India. vijay @gmail.com Keywords: First Fermat point, Fermat lines INTRODUCTION The Fermat point is named for the point which is the solution to a geometric challenge that Pierre Fermat posed for Evangelista Torricelli, who was briefly an associate of the aged Galileo. Fermat challenged Torricelli to find the point P in an acute triangle ABC which would minimize the sum of the distances to the vertices A, B, and C. The triangle need not actually be acute, but if the largest angle reaches 0 degrees or more, then the vertex at the largest angle is the solution. For a general solution, one approach is to construct equilateral triangles on each side of the triangle (actually only two are needed and draw the segments connecting the opposite vertices of the original triangle and the newly created equilateral vertices. They intersect in a point which is the solution. The point is called the Fermat point. The more details about this point and its generalizations is in [-4]. Notations: In this note we will try to establish the very fundamental results related to this point. a+ b+ c s, its area by, its Circumra- Let ABC be a triangle. We denote its side-lengths by a, b, c, its semi perimeter by dius by R abc, In radius by r 4 s Let us define, and as described below: 4 + ( b + c, 4 + (a + c b and 4 + (a + b c + + [4 + (a + b + c ] + [4 + c ], + [4 + a ], + [4 + b ] ome Basic Lemma s: Lemma - If, and are described as mentioned above then ( + + RRJM Mathematics Trends and Multivariate tatistical Analysis-, 0 55

Theorem- If Triangle ABC is an arbitrary triangle (whose all angles are less than 0 degrees let the triangles A BC, B CA and C AB are equilateral triangles constructed outwardly on the sides BC, CA and AB of triangle ABC then AA, BB and CC are concurrent and the point of concurrence is called as First Fermat Torricelli Point(T or Outer Fermat Torricelli Point (T. Let D, E and F are the point of intersections of the lines AA, BB and CC with the sides BC, CA and AB. Now clearly by angle chasing and using the fact cevian divides the triangle into two triangles whose ratio between the areas is equal to the ratio between the corresponding bases.

Theorem-4 Triangles A BC, B CA and C AB are equilateral triangles constructed outwardly on the sides BC, CA and AB of triangle ABC then the circumcircles of the Triangles A BC, B CA and C AB conccur at T. We need to prove that set of the points {A, B, C, T }, {A, B, C, T }, {A, B, C, T } are concyclic. o it is enough to prove that by ptolemy s theorem A T BT +CT, B T AT +CT and C T AT +BT Clearly A T AA AT It implies that A T BT +CT imilarly we can prove the remaining two relations.

6 REMARK When one of the angles of the triangle is 0 or greater, then the Fermat point (which still exists is no longer the point that minimizes the sum of the distances to the vertices, but the minimal point is located at the vertex of the obtuse angle. Clearly Theorem- derives this fact.
