'Napoleon's Theorem' printed from https://nrich.maths.org/
You might like to make a tessellation with copies of $\Delta ABC$
and three triangles drawn on the sides of $\Delta ABC$ and prove
your conjecture from the tessellation. This uses only elementary
geometry. An alternative method is to use the Cosine Rule.
Alternatively you can use vectors or complex numbers.
