Now fold the paper into two triangles, and you will have eight triangles meeting in the centre by their Vertices, all of which are right-angled and equal-legged.

The point from which lines are drawn to the Vertices is usually taken at a vertex, so that there are n - 2 triangles.

Pascal's theorem gives for this case the very important theorem Two pairs of opposite sides of any quadrangle inscribed in a conic meet on a straight line, upon which line also intersect the two pairs of tangents at the opposite Vertices.
