  2. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(geometry)

    In a triangle, any arbitrary side can be considered the base. The two endpoints of the base are called base vertices and the corresponding angles are called base angles. The third vertex opposite the base is called the apex. The extended base of a triangle (a particular case of an extended side) is the line that contains the base.

  3. Triangle graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_graph

    In the mathematical field of graph theory, the triangle graph is a planar undirected graph with 3 vertices and 3 edges, in the form of a triangle. [ 1 ] The triangle graph is also known as the cycle graph C 3 {\displaystyle C_{3}} and the complete graph K 3 {\displaystyle K_{3}} .

  4. Triangular function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_function

    A triangular function (also known as a triangle function, hat function, or tent function) is a function whose graph takes the shape of a triangle. Often this is an isosceles triangle of height 1 and base 2 in which case it is referred to as the triangular function.

  5. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    A triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle is a right triangle, a triangle in which all of its angles are less than that angle is an acute triangle, and a triangle in which one of it angles is greater than that angle is an obtuse triangle. [8] These definitions date back at least to Euclid. [9]

  6. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_triangle

    The best known and simplest formula is = /, where b is the length of the base of the triangle, and h is the height or altitude of the triangle. The term "base" denotes any side, and "height" denotes the length of a perpendicular from the vertex opposite the base onto the line containing the base. Euclid proved that the area of a triangle is ...

  7. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry)

    The base regularity of a pyramid's base may be classified based on the type of polygon: one example is the star pyramid in which its base is the regular star polygon. [24] The truncated pyramid is a pyramid cut off by a plane; if the truncation plane is parallel to the base of a pyramid, it is called a frustum.

  8. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    The triangle has 3 vertices, each of which pairs with another triangle's vertex, making up another 3 edges. These edges form 3 parallelograms as other faces. [2] If the prism's edges are perpendicular to the base, the lateral faces are rectangles, and the prism is called a right triangular prism. [3]

  9. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron, the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid".
