Given a triangle ABC (see the dynamic figure
below) with the inside
equilateral triangles A2BC, B2AC, and C2AB, then the lines AA2, BB2, and
CC2 are concurrent at a point F2, called the Second Fermat point.
See

the Second Fermat point
Dynamic Geometry Environment (DGE) or Interactive Geometry Software
(IGS) of the Second Fermat
Point
The interactive demonstration above was created with GeoGebra.
To stop/play the animation: tap the icon in the
lower left corner.
To reset the interactive figure to its initial state: tap the icon in the
upper right corner.
To manipulate the interactive figure: tap and drag points or lines.
GeoGebra
GeoGebra is free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins geometry, algebra, tables, graphing, statistics and calculus
application, intended for teachers and students. Many parts of GeoGebra have
been ported to HTML5. It has received several educational software awards in Europe and the USA.
