The reverse triangle inequality is an equivalent alternative formulation of the triangle inequality that gives lower bounds instead of upper bounds. For plane geometry, the statement is: [19] Any side of a triangle is greater than or equal to the difference between the other two sides. In the case of a normed vector space, the statement is:
The parameters most commonly appearing in triangle inequalities are: the side lengths a, b, and c;; the semiperimeter s = (a + b + c) / 2 (half the perimeter p);; the angle measures A, B, and C of the angles of the vertices opposite the respective sides a, b, and c (with the vertices denoted with the same symbols as their angle measures);
If angle C is obtuse then for sides a, b, and c we have [4]: p.1, #74 < + <, with the left inequality approaching equality in the limit only as the apex angle of an isosceles triangle approaches 180°, and with the right inequality approaching equality only as the obtuse angle approaches 90°.
In geometry, a Heronian triangle (or Heron triangle) is a triangle whose side lengths a, b, and c and area A are all positive integers. [1] [2] Heronian triangles are named after Heron of Alexandria, based on their relation to Heron's formula which Heron demonstrated with the example triangle of sides 13, 14, 15 and area 84.
Illustration of the sine and tangent inequalities. The figure at the right shows a sector of a circle with radius 1. The sector is θ/(2 π) of the whole circle, so its area is θ/2. We assume here that θ < π /2. = = = =
d(x, z) ≤ max {d(x, y), d(y, z)} (strong triangle inequality or ultrametric inequality). An ultrametric space is a pair ( M , d ) consisting of a set M together with an ultrametric d on M , which is called the space's associated distance function (also called a metric ).
The triangle inequality and the fact that (,) = for all points x derive from the properties of composition and identity in an enriched category. Since R ∗ {\displaystyle R^{*}} is a poset, all diagrams that are required for an enriched category commute automatically.
Because of this property of rotating within a square, the Reuleaux triangle is also sometimes known as the Reuleaux rotor. [5] The Reuleaux triangle is the first of a sequence of Reuleaux polygons whose boundaries are curves of constant width formed from regular polygons with an odd number of sides.
