    Viviani's Theorem states that for any point P inside an equilateral triangle ABC, the sum of the distances from P to the sides of the triangle is equal to the length of its altitude. Van Schooten's theorem says that if point P is on the minor arc BC of an equilateral triangle ABC, then the distance from P to vertex A is equal to the sum of the distances from P to vertices B and C. The third theorem provided states an equation relating the distances from any point P inside an equilateral triangle ABC to the vertices and the side length s of the triangle.

    4.1.6 Viviani’s Theorem


    Theorem 4.1.24
    If P is a point inside an equilateral triangle ABC, then the sum of the distances from P
    to the sides of the triangle is equal to the length of its altitude.
    Basically, if the height of the triangle is h, and PQ, PR, and PS are altitudes to AB,
    BC, and AC respectively, then:

    PQ + PR + PS = h

    4.1.7 van Schooten’s theorem


    Theorem 4.1.25 (van Schooten’s theorem)
    Let P be a point on the minor arc BC of equilateral triangle ABC. Then

    PA = PB + PC

    Theorem 4.1.26
    For a point P inside an equilateral triangle ABC and side length s,

    3(P A4 + P B 4 + P C 4 + s4 ) = (P A2 + P B 2 + P C 2 + s2 )2
