Theorem. If a circle cut all the sides (produced if necessary) of an equilateral polygon, the algebraic sum of the intercepts between the vertices and the circle is zero; i.e., if any side AB of the polygon be cut by the circle in P and Q, then Σ(AP + BQ) = 0, the intercepts being signed by fixing a positive direction round the contour of the polygon.
