The observation that ... and the application of the dominated convergence theorem to the first term on the right-hand ... shows that the left-hand side must be zero ...
Since barycentric coordinates are all positive for a point in a triangle's interior but at least one is negative for a point in the exterior, and two of the barycentric coordinates are zero for a vertex point, the barycentric coordinates given for the orthocenter show that the orthocenter is in an acute triangle's interior, on the right-angled ...
By applying the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangle AWP, and observing that WP = AZ, it follows that A P 2 = A W 2 + W P 2 = A W 2 + A Z 2 {\displaystyle AP^{2}=AW^{2}+WP^{2}=AW^{2}+AZ^{2}} and by a similar argument the squares of the lengths of the distances from P to the other three corners can be calculated as
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.
Looking at the figure, starting from the lower left vertex, , follow the triangle vertices clockwise and construct the squares to the left of the sides of the triangle. Follow the triangle in the same way and construct the squares to the right of the sides of the triangle.
The distance unit parsec is defined as the length of the leg of a right triangle adjacent to the angle of one arcsecond at one vertex, where the other leg is 1 AU long. Because stellar parallaxes and distances all involve such skinny right triangles , a convenient trigonometric approximation can be used to convert parallaxes (in arcseconds) to ...
A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other.. In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform).

As a consequence of the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle; that is, the hypotenuse is longer than either of the triangle's legs. For example, given the length of the legs a = 5 and b = 12, then the sum of the legs squared is (5 × 5) + (12 × 12) = 169, the square of the hypotenuse.
