Given a Euclidean triangle, a smaller triangle is formed by joining the centers of the three Malfatti circles of the given triangle. A sequence of triangles is obtained by continuing this process. The limit of the sequence of triangles is a point. The limits of the inner angles of these triangles are π/3.
Keywords: Malfatti circles, limit.
