Bevan's theorem for a triangle states that if and
are the incenter and circumcenter
of a reference triangle
, and
is the circumcenter of its
excentral triangle, then
,
,
and
are collinear with
, and the circumradius
of the excentral triangle is
, where
is the circumradius of
.
Indeed,
is the orthocenter of the excentral
triangle, while
is its orthic triangle. The circumcircle
of
is therefore the nine-point circle of the excentral triangle, with
as its nine-point center.
Since a nine-point center is the midpoint
of the orthocenter and circumcenter,
is the midpoint
of
and
.
The nine-point circle has half the circumradius
of the excentral triangle, giving the second
conclusion.
