In Euclidean geometry, Kosnita's theorem is a property of certain circles associated with an arbitrary triangle.
Let be an arbitrary triangle, its circumcenter and are the circumcenters of three triangles , , and respectively. The theorem claims that the three straight lines , , and are concurrent.[1] This result was established by the Romanian mathematician Cezar Coşniţă (1910-1962).[2]
Their point of concurrence is known as the triangle's Kosnita point (named by Rigby in 1997). It is the isogonal conjugate of the nine-point center.[3][4] It is triangle center in Clark Kimberling's list.[5] This theorem is a special case of Dao's theorem on six circumcenters associated with a cyclic hexagon in.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
