The '''Fermat point''' (also called the Torricelli point) of a triangle <math>\triangle ABC</math> is a point <math>P</math> which has the minimum total distance to three [[vertices]] (i.e., <math>AP+BP+CP</math>).

==Construction==
A method to find the point is to construct three equilateral triangles out of the three sides from <math>\triangle ABC</math>, then connect each new vertex to each opposite vertex, as these three lines will concur at first Fermat point.
