Elementary proof of a theorem about hexagons with parallel opposite sides
AbstractThe perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a hexagon, whose opposite sides are parallel, produce a point symmetric hexagon. Michael de Villiers already gave two proofs of this theorem, firstly an elaborate one with the aid of dynamic geometry and secondly a merely verifying one with the help of coordinates and computer algebra. In this note, we present a short elementary proof. Our proof uses the fact, that the three altitudes of a triangle intersect in a common point, and it also covers degenerate cases.KEYWORDS: Hexagonperpendicular bisectorpoint symmetry Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
期刊介绍:
Mathematics is pervading every study and technique in our modern world, bringing ever more sharply into focus the responsibilities laid upon those whose task it is to teach it. Most prominent among these is the difficulty of presenting an interdisciplinary approach so that one professional group may benefit from the experience of others. The International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology provides a medium by which a wide range of experience in mathematical education can be presented, assimilated and eventually adapted to everyday needs in schools, colleges, polytechnics, universities, industry and commerce. Contributions will be welcomed from lecturers, teachers and users of mathematics at all levels on the contents of syllabuses and methods of presentation.
