A theorem on equiareal triangles with a fixed base (Q2418623): Difference between revisions

Inspired by a theorem from spherical geometry, \textit{A. Papadopoulos} and \textit{W. Su} [Adv. Stud. Pure Math. 73, 225--253 (2017; Zbl 1446.51005)] proved the following result in the hyperbolic plane: if we fix two points \(A, B\), and consider all those points \(C\) so that the triangle \(ABC\) has the same (fixed) area and lies on a given side of the geodesic through \(A,B\), then the midpoints of the segments \(BA, BC\) all lie on a line. The purpose of this article is to prove (an equivalent reformulation of) this result in a purely axiomatic way, in the setting of non-elliptic metric planes in which every segment has a midpoint. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1412.51001].
