Pascal-points quadrilaterals inscribed in a cyclic quadrilateral

Abstract

This paper presents some new theorems about the Pascal points of a quadrilateral. We shall begin by explaining what these are.Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral, with AC and BD intersecting at E and DA and CB intersecting at F. Let ω be a circle through E and F which meets CB internally at M and DA internally at N. Let CA meet ω again at L and let DB meet ω again at K. By using Pascal’s theorem for the crossed hexagons EKNFML and EKMFNL and which are circumscribed by ω, the following results can be proved [1]:– (a)NK, ML and AB are concurrent (at a point P internal to AB)(b)NL, KM and CD are concurrent (at a point Q internal to CD)
