Generalizations of Fagnano's Problem
Journal for geometry and graphics, Tome 25 (2021) no. 1, pp. 61-69
We generalize Fagnanos famous problem of minimal inscribed perimeter by replacing the orthocenter with an arbitrary interior point P. By adding weights associated with P to Fagnanos inequality, we show that the new, generalized expression reaches minimum for the pedal triangle of P. We then further generalize our main theorem and derive some extensions by relating them to Fermat-Torricelli problem.
