If a point is marked on each side of a Triangle , then the three Miquel Circles (each through a
Vertex and the two marked points on the adjacent sides) are Concurrent at a point
called
the Miquel Point. This result is a slight generalization of the so-called Pivot Theorem.
If lies in the interior of the triangle, then it satisfies
Given four lines , ...,
each intersecting the other three, the four Miquel Circles passing through
each subset of three intersection points of the lines meet in a point known as the 4-Miquel point
. Furthermore, the
centers of these four Miquel Circles lie on a Circle
(Johnson 1929, p. 139). The lines from
to
given points on the sides make equal Angles with respect to the sides.
Similarly, given lines taken by
s yield
Miquel Circles like
passing through a point
,
and their centers lie on a Circle
.
