Pompeiu's theorem is a result of plane geometry, discovered by the Romanian mathematician Dimitrie Pompeiu. The theorem is quite simple, but not classical. It states the following:
The proof is quick. Consider a rotation of 60° about the point C. Assume A maps to B, and P maps to P '. Then we have , and . Hence triangle PCP ' is equilateral and . It is obvious that . Thus, triangle PBP ' has sides equal to PA, PB, and PC and the proof by construction is complete.
