Summary
This paper is the second in a series of three examining Euclidean triangle geometry via complex cross ratios. In the first paper of the series, we examined triangle shapes. In this paper, we coordinatize the Euclidean plane using cross ratios, and use these triangle coordinates to prove theorems about triangles. We develop a complex version of Ceva's theorem, and apply it to proofs of several new theorems. The remaining paper of this series will deal with complex triangle functions.
