  2. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    Set square shaped as 45° - 45° - 90° triangle The side lengths of a 45° - 45° - 90° triangle 45° - 45° - 90° right triangle of hypotenuse length 1.. In plane geometry, dividing a square along its diagonal results in two isosceles right triangles, each with one right angle (90°, ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) and two other congruent angles each measuring half of a right angle (45°, or ...

  3. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    These problems are mathematically distinct from the ideas in the circle packing theorem. The related circle packing problem deals with packing circles, possibly of different sizes, on a surface, for instance the plane or a sphere. The counterparts of a circle in other dimensions can never be packed with complete efficiency in dimensions larger ...

  4. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    Thales’ theorem: if AC is a diameter and B is a point on the diameter's circle, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.. In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.

  5. Finite sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_sphere_packing

    An arrangement in which the midpoint of all the spheres lie on a single straight line is called a sausage packing, as the convex hull has a sausage-like shape.An approximate example in real life is the packing of tennis balls in a tube, though the ends must be rounded for the tube to coincide with the actual convex hull.

  6. List of triangle topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_triangle_topics

    This list of triangle topics includes things related to the geometric shape, either abstractly, as in idealizations studied by geometers, or in triangular arrays such as Pascal's triangle or triangular matrices, or concretely in physical space.

  7. Ailles rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailles_rectangle

    Drawing a line connecting the original triangles' top corners creates a 45°–45°–90° triangle between the two, with sides of lengths 2, 2, and (by the Pythagorean theorem) . The remaining space at the top of the rectangle is a right triangle with acute angles of 15° and 75° and sides of 3 − 1 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {3}}-1} , 3 + 1 ...

  8. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    The tangential triangle of a reference triangle (other than a right triangle) is the triangle whose sides are on the tangent lines to the reference triangle's circumcircle at its vertices. [ 64 ] As mentioned above, every triangle has a unique circumcircle, a circle passing through all three vertices, whose center is the intersection of the ...

  9. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Examples of compass-only constructions include Napoleon's problem. It is impossible to take a square root with just a ruler, so some things that cannot be constructed with a ruler can be constructed with a compass; but (by the Poncelet–Steiner theorem) given a single circle and its center, they can be constructed.
