Loci of Points Inspired by Viviani's Theorem

We consider loci of points such that their sum of distances or sum of squared distances to each of the sides of a given triangle is constant. These loci are inspired by Viviani's theorem and its extension. The former locus is a line segment or the whole triangle and the latter locus is an ellipse.

On Routh-Steiner Theorem and Generalizations

Following Coxeter we use barycentric coordinates in affine geometry to prove theorems on ratios of areas. In particular, we prove a version of Routh-Steiner theorem for parallelograms.

On Viviani's Theorem and its Extensions

Viviani's theorem states that the sum of distances from any point inside an equilateral triangle to its sides is constant. We consider extensions of the theorem and show that any convex polygon can be divided into parallel segments such that the sum of the distances of the points to the sides on each segment is constant. A polygon possesses the CVS property if the sum of the distances from any inner point to its sides is constant. An amazing result, concerning the converse of Viviani's theorem is deduced; Three non-collinear points which have equal sum of distances to the sides inside a convex polygon, is sufficient for possessing the CVS property. For concave polygons the situation is quite different, while for polyhedra analogous results are deduced.
