Geometry: Viviani's theorem | Visualization + Proof |
Viviani's theorem basically states that the sum off lengths of 3 lines, drawn at 90 degrees from the sides of an equilateral triangle to any inner point is always equal to the height.
saw this theorem online and thought that I would program a nice and simple visualization for it. What do you think?

@@sajaltuley1578 I'm no mathematician. But, I'd say most likely, yes. Because, in order for it to work, all sides probably should be the same length and each angle should be the same. This is just a guess, though. Since that would also make each side an equal distance from the center point, which is the initial position of the dot.

Sadly, no
I think there is a better explanation that uses pure visualization, no area formulas. So starting with the three perpendicular lines, first draw a horizontal line through the point. This splits the triangle into two sections: the base and an upper equilateral triangle. Rotate the upper triangle 60 degrees clockwise. Now draw another horizontal line through the point (which has been rotated 60 degrees as well), splitting the upper triangle into another two pieces. Rotate the topmost triangle 60 degrees clockwise. Now we have rearranged pieces of the triangle such that the shape of the triangle hasn't changed, but all perpendicular trisectors line up vertically, showing that they add up to the height

Nice alternate proof. I guess when you rotate the upper triangle, you rotate around its center. I think the angle of rotation is actually 120 degrees rather than 60.

Your videos explain so well, and I liked the fact the the point wasn't "static", so it was always moving so we could see that it was always true =D. And again the music fits well in the video! hahaha

There's a nice way to do this without areas - notice that you can shrink the triangle on one side until that side touches the point, and this reduces the height by the same amount it reduces the sum. By doing this twice, the point is at a vertex of the triangle, and the one remaining non-zero term in the sum is the length to the opposite side, which of course is the height of the remaining triangle.

Really good
Curiously, I discovered this theorem myself about 30 or 35 years ago, and later learned I had not been original. However, my original theorem spanned not only triangles but any planar regular polygon: the sum of distances from an inner point to all the sides of a regular polygon is invariant. If a polygon has an even number of sides, it is obvious that the sum of distances from an inner point to both a side and its opposite is constant, hence, so is such a sum of distances to all the sides. But I didn't know of any such easy proof when a regular polygon has an odd number of sides. Now your video and proof give me a way to prove my general case.
Wonderful.
Nice 👏👏

Super nice video!! Your efforts are really appreciated, if you could make a video like these for all geometry theorems in Olympiad it would be pretty cool and I guess would blow up pretty fast. I know it takes a tremendous amount of efforts so thanks!!! (PS how do you animated your videos?)
I feel dumb now for being surprised at how simple that was. Well done!
Wow, how did I JUST find this channel when looking for some inspiration for a lesson?...
I could visualise your hardwork too along with this content
Your video prompted me to an alternate visualization (though it may be more difficult to establish). At 0:57 when black lines replaced coloured perpendiculars, I began to see the animation as an observer hovering over a tetrahedron (perhaps the width of the perpendiculars being less than the width of sides helped create that 3D effect). If one could establish that the collection of triangular projections seen by an observer hovering over the tetrahedron at different angles would cover all possible collections of triangles made by shifting the point in the triangle, one could prove that the sum of perpendiculars is constant.
That blew my mind.
Awesome
brilliant
Really enjoying the telltale music

I like how catchy this is in x2.
with this music all is more epic
Area of any triangle is (base × height) ÷ 2. So break up an equilateral triangle with height "H" ( 🔺️E ), into 3 triangles of different heights ( 🔺️1, 🔺️2, and 🔺️3 ). We are trying to prove that the sum of the 3 perpendicular distances from any point inside an equilateral triangle must equal the total height of the equilateral triangle, by using the proof: Area of 🔺️1 + Area of 🔺️2 + Area of 🔺️3 = Area of 🔺️E. Each perpendicular distance from a point inside the larger equilateral triangle can coincidentally be used as a value of each of the 3 smaller triangles' heights. The heights for each one is: h1, h2, h3, and H. And each triangle 🔺️ has the same base, "B". Each area is: ( base × height ) ÷ 2. And so it must be true that: ((B×h1)÷2) + ((B×h2)÷2) + ((B×h3)÷2) = (B×H)÷2, They all are being divided by 2, so it must also be true that: (B×h1) + (B×h2) + (B×h3) = B×H, And the base, "B" is the same for all triangles in this case, so factor it out. Therefore it must also be true that: h1 + h2 + h3 = H. So Viviani's Theorem is proven mathematically that the 3 perpendicular distances at any point inside of an equilateral triangle must equal the total height of the equilateral triangle.
Neat.

Can you do one with the given point not moving and move the triangle instead? I want to see a three dimensional analysis
Mathematical observation shown here are like lost spells which every Wizard of math wants to find. :)
Question When we put the point on the bottom of the triangle, surely length point-to-top = height. Right? That, plus other lines' length wouldn't the total length be longer than the height then?
@ThinkTwiceLtu
6 жыл бұрын
if you put the point at the bottom of the triangle, the length of a line from the base of the triangle to the point would be 0. So there would only be two lines to add up, which will be equal to the height of the triangle

I dunno, just prove it for the edge cases and then use the mean value theorem??
how about the iregular triangle ? same process?
why does that to be an equilateral triangel only, same thing can be done for scalene right?
does this work for nonequilateral triangles? i think not
good
Is it just me or the triangle moves in 3D when the sides are colored? O_o *soooo good*
Is this true for any triangle or just equilateral triangles?
What do you use to animate? Blender?
Sir viviani theorem is only valid for only equilateral triangle right .. And thank you for the video sir 😌❤️❤️👊
I proved it by adding the areas
This damn song gives me sad nostalgia
wow
Was it said anywhere that the triangle was equilateral?
1:00 that looks a lot like a 3D triangle-based pyramid, wonder if it is related
