Circle-Point Midpoint Theorem


CirclePointMidpointTheorem

The circle-point midpoint theorem states that the locus of the midpoints of the line segments joining a fixed point to the points of a circle of radius r is a circle of radius r/2. This follows trivially from

r(theta)=[-x; 0]+1/2([rcostheta; rsintheta]-[-x; 0])
(1)
=[1/2rcostheta-1/2x; 1/2rsintheta].
