    Poncelet-Steiner Theorem

    Definition

    All Euclidean geometric constructions can be carried out with a straightedge alone if, in addition, one is given the radius of a single circle and its center. The theorem was suggested by Poncelet in 1822 and proved by Steiner in 1833. A construction using straightedge alone is called a Steiner construction.
