Extouch triangle

The vertices of the extouch triangle are given in trilinear coordinates by:

$${\displaystyle {\begin{array}{rccccc}T_{A}=&0&:&\csc ^{2}{\frac {B}{2}}&:&\csc ^{2}{\frac {C}{2}}\\T_{B}=&\csc ^{2}{\frac {A}{2}}&:&0&:&\csc ^{2}{\frac {C}{2}}\\T_{C}=&\csc ^{2}{\frac {A}{2}}&:&\csc ^{2}{\frac {B}{2}}&:&0\end{array}}}$$

or equivalently, where a, b, c are the lengths of the sides opposite angles A, B, C respectively,

$${\displaystyle {\begin{array}{rccccc}T_{A}=&0&:&{\frac {a\,-\,b\,+\,c}{b}}&:&{\frac {a\,+\,b\,-\,c}{c}}\\T_{B}=&{\frac {-a\,+\,b\,+\,c}{a}}&:&0&:&{\frac {a\,+\,b\,-\,c}{c}}\\T_{C}=&{\frac {-a\,+\,b\,+\,c}{a}}&:&{\frac {a\,-\,b\,+\,c}{b}}&:&0\end{array}}}$$

Related figures

The triangle's splitters are lines connecting the vertices of the original triangle to the corresponding vertices of the extouch triangle; they bisect the triangle's perimeter and meet at the Nagel point. This is shown in blue and labelled "N" in the diagram.

Area

The area of the extouch triangle, K_T, is given by:

${\displaystyle K_{T}=K{\frac {2r^{2}s}{abc}}}$

where K and r are the area and radius of the
