Information from its description page there is shown below. Now let us define n as the intersection of x and z.
The dual of pascals theorem is known brianchons theorem, since it was proven by c. For instance, the statement of pascals theorem says that the red line exists, and the converse states that the red conic exists. A definition of the term brianchons theorem is presented.
