Isosceles triangle the hypotenuse to the right-angled vertex) divides the right triangle into two isosceles triangles. This is because the midpoint of the hypotenuse is the center of the circumcircle of the right triangle, and each of the two triangles created by the partition has two equal radii as two of its sides. Similarly, an acute triangle can be partitioned into three isosceles triangles by segments from its circumcenter, but this method does not work for obtuse triangles, because the circumcenter lies outside the triangle. Generalizing the partition of an acute triangle, any cyclic polygon that contains the center of its circumscribed
Medial triangle of "ABC": the parallel to "AB" through "C", the parallel to "AC" through "B", and the parallel to "BC" through "A". Trilinear coordinates for the vertices of the anticomplementary triangle, X'Y'Z', are given by The name "anticomplementary triangle" corresponds to the fact that its vertices are the anticomplements of the vertices A, B, C of the reference triangle. The vertices of the medial triangle are the complements of A, B, C. Medial triangle Each side of the medial triangle is called a "midsegment" (or "midline"). In general, a midsegment of a triangle is a line segment which joins the midpoints
