On Poncelet’s porism

Waldemar Cieślak, Elżbieta Szczygielska

Abstract


We consider circular annuli with Poncelet’s porism property. We prove two identities which imply Chapple’s, Steiner’s and other formulas. All porisms can be expressed in the form in which elliptic functions are not used.

Keywords
