Abstract

Two results, proved synthetically in plane Euclidean geometry by Chisini in 1924—stating that: (i) if MAB is an isosceles triangle, with MA≡MB, inscribed in a circle C, P1 and P2 are two points on C such that {B, Pi} separates {A, M} for i∈ {1 , 2} , and {B, P2} separates {M, P1}, then AP1+ BP1< AP2+ BP2, and (ii) of all triangles inscribed in a given circle the equilateral triangle has the greatest perimeter—are proved inside Hilbert’s absolute geometry.
