Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Two perpendicular intersecting straight lines will be said to be normal to each other. Then the Petersen-Morley theorem is: Given arbitrarily three lines a, b, c, let a′ be the unique normal to b and c, b′ that to c and a, and c′ that to a and b; then the lines x, y, z, normal respectively to the pairs of lines a and a′, b and b′, c and c′, have a common normal.
