    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart's_theorem

    Diagram of Stewart's theorem. Let a, b, c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Let d be the length of a cevian to the side of length a.If the cevian divides the side of length a into two segments of length m and n, with m adjacent to c and n adjacent to b, then Stewart's theorem states that + = (+).

  3. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulas_for_generating...

    Wade and Wade [17] first introduced the categorization of Pythagorean triples by their height, defined as c − b, linking 3,4,5 to 5,12,13 and 7,24,25 and so on. McCullough and Wade [ 18 ] extended this approach, which produces all Pythagorean triples when k > h √ 2 / d : Write a positive integer h as pq 2 with p square-free and q positive.

  4. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

  5. Pythagorean triple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple

    Animation demonstrating the smallest Pythagorean triple, 3 2 + 4 2 = 5 2. A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a 2 + b 2 = c 2.Such a triple is commonly written (a, b, c), a well-known example is (3, 4, 5).

  6. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    Due to the Pythagorean theorem the number () has the simple geometric meanings shown in the diagram: For a point outside the circle () is the squared tangential distance | | of point to the circle . Points with equal power, isolines of Π ( P ) {\displaystyle \Pi (P)} , are circles concentric to circle c {\displaystyle c} .

  7. Tree of primitive Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_primitive...

    This can be seen by applying in turn each of the unimodular inverse matrices A −1, B −1, and C −1 to an arbitrary primitive Pythagorean triple (d, e, f), noting that by the above reasoning primitivity and the Pythagorean property are retained, and noting that for any triple larger than (3, 4, 5) exactly one of the inverse transition ...

  8. Sum of angles of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_angles_of_a_triangle

    Triangle area property: The area of a triangle can be as large as we please. Three points property : Three points either lie on a line or lie on a circle . Pythagoras' theorem : In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

  9. Pythagorean prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_prime

    The Pythagorean prime 5 and its square root are both hypotenuses of right triangles with integer legs. The formulas show how to transform any right triangle with integer legs into another right triangle with integer legs whose hypotenuse is the square of the first triangle's hypotenuse.
