Discovering Monge's Theorem Through Interactive Demos
By Editor • August 31, 2026 • 1 min read
A recent Instagram video sparked curiosity about Monge's theorem, which reveals a fascinating geometric truth: any three circles can have a common straight line tangent to each pair.
This demonstration shows that the tangent lines intersect at a single point, leading to three such intersection points that always align on one straight line.
While the proof behind this theorem remains a puzzle for many, including myself, the interactive nature of the demo provides a delightful way to engage with and appreciate the beauty of mathematics.
