Lester's theorem

In Euclidean plane geometry
, Lester's theorem, named after June Lester, states that in any scalene triangle, the two Fermat point
s, the nine-point center, and the circumcenter are concyclic.
Geometry
Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

Fermat point
In geometry the Fermat point of a triangle, also called Torricelli point, is a point such that the total distance from the three vertices of the triangle to the point is the minimum possible...
