The sides are in the ratio 1 : √ 3 : 2. The proof of this fact is clear using trigonometry. The geometric proof is: Draw an equilateral triangle ABC with side length 2 and with point D as the midpoint of segment BC. Draw an altitude line from A to D. Then ABD is a 30°–60°–90° triangle with hypotenuse of length 2, and base BD of length 1.
Analogously to Pascal's triangle, these numbers may be calculated using the recurrence relation [2] = + (). As base cases, p 1 ( 1 ) = 1 {\displaystyle p_{1}(1)=1} , and any value on the right hand side of the recurrence that would be outside the triangle can be taken as zero.
a number represented as a discrete r-dimensional regular geometric pattern of r-dimensional balls such as a polygonal number (for r = 2) or a polyhedral number (for r = 3). a member of the subset of the sets above containing only triangular numbers, pyramidal numbers , and their analogs in other dimensions.
In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is an infinite triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra.In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in Persia, [1] India, [2] China, Germany, and Italy.
A right triangle ABC with its right angle at C, hypotenuse c, and legs a and b,. A right triangle or right-angled triangle, sometimes called an orthogonal triangle or rectangular triangle, is a triangle in which two sides are perpendicular, forming a right angle (1 ⁄ 4 turn or 90 degrees).
Pascal's pyramid's first five layers. Each face (orange grid) is Pascal's triangle. Arrows show derivation of two example terms. In mathematics, Pascal's pyramid is a three-dimensional arrangement of the trinomial numbers, which are the coefficients of the trinomial expansion and the trinomial distribution. [1]
Hosoya's triangle or the Hosoya triangle (originally Fibonacci triangle; OEIS: A058071) is a triangular arrangement of numbers (like Pascal's triangle) based on the Fibonacci numbers. Each number is the sum of the two numbers above in either the left diagonal or the right diagonal.
The triangle formed by two sides and a diagonal of a regular pentagon is called a golden gnomon. It is an obtuse isosceles triangle with apex angle and base angle . Its base is in the golden ratio to its two equal sides. [47]
