                          Next the side 11-9 is chosen, and K ideal located. The equilateral triangle constructed
                        has one side which cuts the side 9-10 of the front (Fig. 8.37), and so K ideal is rejected
                        as a new point. Instead, the nearest active node 10 is chosen, and the updated front
                        shown in Fig. 8.38 has properties:


                        • active nodes: 7, 11, 10, 4, 5, 6
                        • active sides: 7-11, 11-10, 10-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7
                        • passive nodes: 8, 1, 2, 3
                        • passive sides: 7-8, 8-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4
                        • npoint: 11
                        • nelem: 8
                        • nptr: 6
