Fermat point

Summary

The Fermat point of a triangle is the point of the plane whose total distance to the three vertices is as small as possible. When every angle of the triangle is less than 120∘120^\circ, it is the interior point that sees each side under 120∘120^\circ. It is a model case of a geometric minimisation problem and of a triangle center.
