In projective geometry, Pascal's theorem (aka Hexagrammum Mysticum Theorem) states that if an arbitrary hexagon is inscribed in any conic section, and pairs of opposite sides are extended until they meet, the three intersection points will lie on a straight line, the Pascal line of that configuration.This theorem is a generalization of Pappus's hexagon theorem – Pappus's theorem is the special case of a degenerate conic of two lines. Pascal's theorem is the polar reciprocal of Brianchon's theorem. It was discovered by Blaise Pascal in 1639 when he was 16 years old.
