S (fig. 85) is the circumscribed centre, and O the orthocentre of the triangle ABC; AX the perpendicular from A on BC, and P the middle point of BC.

SP produced bisects the arc BC in V, and I, the centre of the inscribed circle, lies on AV, and is so situated that AI.IV = 2Rr. (See Note). Also the angle XAV = angle AVS = angle SAV
