Descartes' circle theorem (a.k.a. the kissing circle theorem) provides a quadratic equation satisfied by the radii of four mutually tangent circles. By solving this equation, one can determine the possible values for the radius of a fourth circle tangent to three given, mutually tangent circles.
24 Ιαν 2022 · Descartes circle theorem Theorem (Descartes circle theorem, 1643) If b 1;b 2;b 3;b 4 are bends of four mutually tangent circles, then (b 1 + b 2 + b 3 + b 4) 2 = 2(b2 1 + b 2 2 + b 2 3 + b 2 4): Example 11 21 24 28 b 1 = 11, 2 = 21, 3 = 24, 4 = 28 ( 11 + 21 + 24 + 28)2 = 622 = 3844 2(( 11)2 + 212 + 242 + 282) = 2(1922) = 3844 Edna Jones The ...
In geometry, Descartes' theorem states that for every four kissing, or mutually tangent, circles, the radii of the circles satisfy a certain quadratic equation. By solving this equation, one can construct a fourth circle tangent to three given, mutually tangent circles.
Abstract. How was this proof overlooked for 181 years? We give a simple proof of Descartes’s circle theorem using Cayley-Menger determinants. 1 Introduction.

15 Απρ 2019 · We will give a straightforward proof of Descartes’s theorem, using only elementary algebra and Heron’s formula for the area of a triangle. A Short History of Descartes’s Circle Theorem. Descartes’s circle theorem was first described by Descartes in 1643 in his correspondence with Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, one of his pupils [5].
Descartes' Circle Formula is a relation held between four mutually tangent circles. Some notation: when discussing mutually tangent circles (or arcs), it is convenient to refer to the curvature of a circle rather than its radius. We define curvature as follows.
A Short History of Descartes’s Circle Theorem. Descartes’s circle theorem was first described by Descartes in 1643 in his correspondence with Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, one of his pupils [5]. In a letter to her, Descartes posed the following problem [4]: which is Apollonius’s problem.
