Incircles. 75 n' 1 Hence (297) Hence n ^/ 1 +_ 2(1 + cos a + cos b + cos c) 18. If tangents be drawn at A, B, C to the circumcircle of the triangle ABC, forming a triangle A'B'C', the arcs AA', BB', CC', are concurrent. The point of concurrence, K, is called the LEMOINE point of the Triangle. 19. Prove that the normal co-ordinates of K are sin (A - ), sin (B -E), sin (C - E). 20. The triangular co-ordinates of the orthocentre are tan A, tan B, tan C, and the normal co-ordinates, sec A, sec B, sec C. DEF. XXIV.-The isogonal conjugate of 0, the intersection of the medians, is called the SYMMEDIAN point. 21. Prove that the Symmedian point of a spherical triangle does not coincide with its Lemoine point. Its normal co-ordinates are sin a, sin b, sin c. 22. The normal co-ordinates of the pole of the circumcircle are cos (A-E), cos (B-E), cos(C-E). 23. If M be any point of the sphere, and the arcs MA, MB, MC meet the sides BC, CA, AB in A', B', C', if O be the pole of the circumcircle, sin MA4' sin'MB' sin MC' cos MO sin A' sin BB' sin CC' cos (STN.)
