Let ,
, and
be the side lengths of a reference
triangle
.
Now let
be a point on the extension of the segment
beyond
such that
. Similarly, define the points
,
,
,
,
so that the points
and
lie on the extended segment
, the points
and
lie on the extended segment
, and the point
lies on the extended segment
, and we have
,
,
,
and
.
Then the points ,
,
,
,
, and
are concyclic and the resulting
circle is known as Conway circle of
.
The Conway circle is centered at the incenter of the reference triangle
and has radius
(1)
| |||
(2)
|
where
is the inradius of the reference
triangle and
its semiperimeter.
It has circle function
(3)
|
corresponding to Kimberling center .
No Kimberling centers lie on the Conway circle.
