In geometry, the Steiner ellipse of a triangle, also called the Steiner circumellipse to distinguish it from the Steiner inellipse, is the unique circumellipse (ellipse that touches the triangle at its vertices) whose center is the triangle's centroid.〔Weisstein, Eric W. "Steiner Circumellipse." From MathWorld—A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SteinerCircumellipse.html〕 Named after Jakob Steiner, it is an example of a circumconic. By comparison the circumcircle of a triangle is another circumconic that touches the triangle at its vertices, but is not centered at the triangle's centroid unless the triangle is equilateral. The area of the Steiner ellipse equals the area of the triangle times and hence is 4 times the area of the Steiner inellipse. The Steiner ellipse has the least area of any ellipse circumscribed about the triangle.〔 ==Trilinear equation== The equation of the Steiner circumellipse in trilinear coordinates is〔 : for side lengths ''a, b, c''. 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「Steiner ellipse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
