Soddy Triangles


SoddyTriangles

Given a triangle DeltaABC with inner and outer Soddy centers S and S^', respectively, the inner Soddy triangle DeltaPQR (respectively, outer Soddy triangle DeltaP^'Q^'R^') is the triangle formed by the points of tangency of the inner (respectively, outer) Soddy circle with the three mutually tangent circles centered at each of the vertices of DeltaABC

These triangles were explicitly mentioned but not named by Oldknow (1996). The name "Soddy triangles" is therefore proposed here for the first time.
