Extouch Triangle

The extouch triangle is the triangle formed by the points of tangency of a triangle with its excircles , , and . The points , , and can also be constructed as the points which bisect the perimeter of starting at , , and .

It is the Cevian triangle of the Nagel point (Kimberling 1998, p. 158), the pedal triangle of the Bevan point , and the cyclocevian triangle of .

It is the polar triangle of the Mandart inellipse.
