Abstract
If for a triangle ABC with sides a, b, c and circumradius R the equation a2 + b2 + c2 = 9R2 holds, the triangle is equilateral. Each triangle satisfying a2 + b2 + c2 = 8R2 is a right triangle. Starting from these well-known properties V. Devidé [1] has investigated at length the special class of triangles defined by a2 + b2 + c2 = 6R2. O. Bottema [2] considered the general class of triangles (k-triangles) defined by a2 + b2 + c2 = kR2. In [12] it has been shown that a2 + b2 + c2 = 5R2 characterizes all the triangles for which the nine-point centre lies on the circumcircle.
