F.7 Ceva and Menelaus — Code

Three cevians AD, BE, CF of triangle ABC concur at a point P if and only if (AF/FB)(BD/DC)(CE/EA) = +1 (Ceva’s Theorem), whereas points D, E, F’ on the sidelines are collinear if and only if (AF’/F’B)(BD/DC)(CE/EA) = -1 (Menelaus’s Theorem), making (A, B; F, F’) a harmonic range.

Output of model.py for F.7 (Ceva and Menelaus).
