Miquel's Theorem

Geometry

Miquel's Theorem states that if a point is chosen on each side of a triangle, then the three circles each passing through a vertex and the two chosen points on its adjacent sides all meet at a single common point. Named for Auguste Miquel, it is a classical result of triangle geometry with several later generalizations to complete quadrilaterals and beyond.

Facts
Statement
For a triangle ABC with points on its sides, the three circumcircles through each vertex and two of those points intersect in a single point, the Miquel point. 1

Has Statement Form

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
