Simultaneous Generalizations of the Theorems of Ceva and Menelaus for Field Planes
Houston, Kelly B.; Powers, Robert C.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v40 n8 p1085-1091 2009
In 1992, Klamkin and Liu proved a very general result in the Extended Euclidean Plane that contains the theorems of Ceva and Menelaus as special cases. In this article, we extend the Klamkin and Liu result to projective planes "PG"(2, F) where F is a field. (Contains 2 figures.)
