Extract

In the following paper I propose to investigate expressions for the vector of the following six points of a spherical triangle :—

(1.) Pole of inscribed circle.

(2.) (3.) (4.) Poles of escribed circles.

(5.) Pole of circumscribed circle.

(6.) The orthocentre or intersection of arcs drawn perpendicularly from angles upon the opposite sides.

These vectors will all be found in terms of the vector of the corners of the triangle drawn from the centre of the sphere.
