Pascal's theorem

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

In projective geometry, Pascal's theorem states that if an arbitrary hexagon is inscribed in any conic section, and opposite pairs of sides are extended until they meet, the three intersection points will lie on a straight line, the Pascal line of that configuration. In the Euclidean plane, the theorem has exceptions; its natural home is the projective plane.
