The Two Triangles Theorem
The Two Triangles Theorem
Let the points P, Q, and R lie on a parabola. Let P', Q', and R' be the intersection points of the tangents to the parabola at Q and R, P and R, and P and Q, respectively. The area of triangle PQR (purple) is twice the area of triangle P'Q'R' (gold). Drag the black points to change the figure.
