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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
