(Redirected from Haruki's theorem)

Haruki's Theorem says that given three intersecting circles that only intersect each other at two points that the lines connecting the inner intersecting points to the outer satisfy:

Illustration of Haruki's Theorem:

where are the measure of segments connecting the inner and outer intersection points.[1][2][3]

The theorem is named after the Japanese mathematician Hiroshi Haruki.
