Inscribed circles of various polygons An inscribed triangle of a circle A tetrahedron (red) inscribed in a cube (yellow) which is, in turn, inscribed in a rhombic triacontahedron (grey). (Click here for rotating model) In geometry, an inscribed planar shape or solid is one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside another geometric shape or ...
The Nagel triangle or extouch triangle of is denoted by the vertices , , and that are the three points where the excircles touch the reference and where is opposite of , etc. This T A T B T C {\displaystyle \triangle T_{A}T_{B}T_{C}} is also known as the extouch triangle of A B C {\displaystyle \triangle ABC} .
An obtuse triangle has only one inscribed square, with a side coinciding with part of the triangle's longest side. [3] The Calabi triangle, an obtuse triangle, shares with the equilateral triangle the property of having three different ways of placing the largest square that fits into it, but (because it is obtuse) only one of these three is ...
A curvilinear triangle is a shape with three curved sides, for instance, a circular triangle with circular-arc sides. (This article is about straight-sided triangles in Euclidean geometry, except where otherwise noted.) Triangles are classified into different types based on their angles and the lengths of their sides.
A disphenoid is a tetrahedron with four congruent triangles as faces; the triangles necessarily have all angles acute. The regular tetrahedron is a special case of a disphenoid. Other names for the same shape include bisphenoid, isosceles tetrahedron and equifacial tetrahedron.
An equidiagonal kite that maximizes the ratio of perimeter to diameter, inscribed in a Reuleaux triangle. Among all quadrilaterals, the shape that has the greatest ratio of its perimeter to its diameter is an equidiagonal kite that can be inscribed into a Reuleaux triangle. [22]
One may ask whether other shapes can be inscribed into an arbitrary Jordan curve. It is known that for any triangle and Jordan curve , there is a triangle similar to and inscribed in . [12] [13] Moreover, the set of the vertices of such triangles is dense in . [14]
Each hyperbolic triangle has an inscribed circle but not every hyperbolic triangle has a circumscribed circle (see below). Its vertices can lie on a horocycle or hypercycle. Hyperbolic triangles have some properties that are analogous to those of triangles in spherical or elliptic geometry: Two triangles with the same angle sum are equal in area.
