The butterfly theorem is a classical result in Euclidean geometry, which can be stated as follows:〔Johnson, Roger A., ''Advanced Euclidean Geometry'', Dover Publ., 2007 (orig. 1929).〕 Let ''M'' be the midpoint of a chord ''PQ'' of a circle, through which two other chords ''AB'' and ''CD'' are drawn; ''AD'' and ''BC'' intersect chord ''PQ'' at ''X'' and ''Y'' correspondingly. Then ''M'' is the midpoint of ''XY''. ==Proof== A formal proof of the theorem is as follows: Let the perpendiculars and be dropped from the point on the straight lines and respectively. Similarly, let and be dropped from the point perpendicular to the straight lines and respectively. Now, since :: : :: : :: : :: : From the preceding equations, it can be easily seen that : : : since = Now, : So, it can be concluded that or is the midpoint of An alternate proof using projective geometry can be found in problem 8 of the link below. http://www.imomath.com/index.php?options=628&lmm=0 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Butterfly theorem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
