Lemma 2.1. If C

, 1

are points in the interior of the triangle 1C with
1C

~ C1

and CC

1 = C
1
, also 11

C = 1

, then
the following identity is true:
1

C
=
sinC sin(1 +j)
sin1 sin(C +j)
,
with j

= :(]1C

Proof. We have

sinC sinj sin(+r)
sin sinr sin(C +j)
,
where r

Similarly, we have

Now, using the Cevas Theorem, in the triangle 1C, one obtains

Now, evaluating the product

and from the reciprocal of Cevas Theorem, we have the concurrency in T

Corrolary 2.1. For c = 60
c

and the 1C

, 1

C, C1

are similar isosceles triangles and
the Theorem of Kiepert takes place.[1].
Corrolary 2.3. From Lemma 2.2 one obtaines that the geometrical locus
of the intersection point CC

Theorem 2.2. Let us consider now an arbitrary triangle 1C and the
following points C
a
= (H
A;k
1
A;
)(1), C
b
= (H
B;k
1
B;
)(),
b
=
(H
B;k
1
B;
)(C),
c
= (H
C;k
1
C;
)(1), 1
c
= (H
C;k
1
C;
)(), 1
a
=
(H
A;k
1
A;
)(C) with / R
;k
.
Proof. We make the following notations: , = :(]C
a
1) = :(]C
b
1) =
:(]1
a
C) = :(]1
c
C) = :(]
c
1C) = :(]
b
C1).
Applying Lemma 2.1 one obtains:
1Q
A
Q
A
C
=
sinC sin(1 +,)
sin1 sin(C +,)
CQ
B
Q
B
=
sin sin(C +,)
sinC sin(+,)
Q
C
Q
C
1
=
sin1 sin(+,)
sin sin(1 +,)
.
Now, applying again the reciprocal of the Cevas Theorem, one obtains the
required concurrency in the point T
;k
(See Figure 3).
Remark 2.1. The corrolary 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 takes place also for Theorem
2.2.
Remark 2.2. The barycentric coordinates for the points T
k;
and T
k;
can
remain an open problem.
Remark 2.3. For / = 1, Theorem 2.1 become Theorem 1.1 from [4].
