In geometry, an isosceles triangle (/ aɪ ˈ s ɒ s ə l iː z /) is a triangle that has two sides of equal length or two angles of equal measure. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case.
Let A'BC be the equilateral triangle having base BC and vertex A' on the negative side of BC and let AB'C and ABC' be similarly constructed equilateral triangles based on the other two sides of triangle ABC. Then the lines AA', BB', CC' are concurrent and the point of concurrence is the 1st isogonal center. Its trilinear coordinates are
The Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC) is an online list of thousands of points or "centers" associated with the geometry of a triangle. This resource is hosted at the University of Evansville . It started from a list of 400 triangle centers published in the 1998 book Triangle Centers and Central Triangles by Professor Clark Kimberling .
Enneahectogon - 900 sides; Chiliagon - 1,000 sides; Myriagon - 10,000 sides; Megagon - 1,000,000 sides; Star polygon – there are multiple types of stars Pentagram - star polygon with 5 sides; Hexagram – star polygon with 6 sides Star of David (example) Heptagram – star polygon with 7 sides; Octagram – star polygon with 8 sides Star of ...
The trilinear coordinates of its vertices relative to the reference triangle are expressible in a certain cyclical way in terms of two functions having the same degree of homogeneity. At least one of the two functions must be a triangle center function. The excentral triangle is an example of a central triangle. The central triangles have been ...
If a non-zero f has both these properties it is called a triangle center function. If f is a triangle center function and a, b, c are the side-lengths of a reference triangle then the point whose trilinear coordinates are f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b) is called a triangle center.
The center of the incircle is a triangle center called the triangle's incenter. [1] An excircle or escribed circle [2] of the triangle is a circle lying outside the triangle, tangent to one of its sides and tangent to the extensions of the other two. Every triangle has three distinct excircles, each tangent to one of the triangle's sides. [3]
SAS Postulate: Two sides in a triangle have the same length as two sides in the other triangle, and the included angles have the same measure. ASA: Two interior angles and the side between them in a triangle have the same measure and length, respectively, as those in the other triangle. (This is the basis of surveying by triangulation.)
