Abstract
Fagnano’s Problem: In 1775, Giovanni Fagnano posed and solved the problem - “For a given acute angled triangle, determine the inscribed triangle of minimum perimeter.” Using calculus, Fagnano showed the solution to be the Orthic Triangle – a triangle formed by the feet of the three altitudes.
