  2. Desargues's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desargues's_theorem

    The ten lines involved in Desargues's theorem (six sides of triangles, the three lines Aa, Bb and Cc, and the axis of perspectivity) and the ten points involved (the six vertices, the three points of intersection on the axis of perspectivity, and the center of perspectivity) are so arranged that each of the ten lines passes through three of the ...

  3. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    If D > 1, no such triangle exists because the side b does not reach line BC. For the same reason a solution does not exist if the angle β ≥ 90° and b ≤ c. If D = 1, a unique solution exists: γ = 90°, i.e., the triangle is right-angled. If D < 1 two alternatives are possible. If b ≥ c, then β ≥ γ (the larger side corresponds to a ...

  4. Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_tilings_by...

    Broken down, 3 6; 3 6 (both of different transitivity class), or (3 6) 2, tells us that there are 2 vertices (denoted by the superscript 2), each with 6 equilateral 3-sided polygons (triangles). With a final vertex 3 4.6, 4 more contiguous equilateral triangles and a single regular hexagon.

  5. Law of sines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines

    In trigonometry, the law of sines, sine law, sine formula, or sine rule is an equation relating the lengths of the sides of any triangle to the sines of its angles. According to the law, ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ =, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and α, β, and γ are the opposite angles (see figure 2), while R is the radius of the triangle's circumcircle.

  6. Chinese mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mathematics

    This book includes 246 problems on surveying, agriculture, partnerships, engineering, taxation, calculation, the solution of equations, and the properties of right triangles. [17] The Nine Chapters made significant additions to solving quadratic equations in a way similar to Horner's method . [ 5 ]

  7. Euler line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_line

    In geometry, the Euler line, named after Leonhard Euler (/ ˈ ɔɪ l ər /), is a line determined from any triangle that is not equilateral.It is a central line of the triangle, and it passes through several important points determined from the triangle, including the orthocenter, the circumcenter, the centroid, the Exeter point and the center of the nine-point circle of the triangle.

  8. Hyperbolic triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_triangle

    Hyperbolic triangles have some properties that are the opposite of the properties of triangles in spherical or elliptic geometry: The angle sum of a triangle is less than 180°. The area of a triangle is proportional to the deficit of its angle sum from 180°. Hyperbolic triangles also have some properties that are not found in other geometries:

  9. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.
