Question

let △ABC be a triangle S2 (the two-dimensional sphere). Let the dual point C'∈S2 of C be defined by the following three conditions:

(i) d(C' , A)=π/2

(ii) d(C' , B)=π/2

(iii) d(C' , C)≤π/2

A' and B' are defined analogously. Thus we get a dual triangle △A' B' C'. More precisely, △ABC is a non-degenerate triangle, and it follows (you may assume) that △A' B' C' is too.

 

 

 

(a) Show that the conditions (i)–(iii) determine a unique point C' by, in terms of vectors in ℝ3

thinking. (For example, (i) is in terms of perpendicularity to interpret.)

(b) Show that d(C' , X) = π/2 for all points X on the line (in the sentence of S2, so great circle) line(A, B).

(c) Show that the dual triangle of the dual triangle is the original one

triangle is (△A'' B'' C''=△ABC) by proving that C''=C. (The other

cases, A'' = A and B'' = B, are of course analogous.)
