Euler line the Euler line is parallel to an acute triangle's side "BC" if and only if formula_43 The locus of the centroids of equilateral triangles inscribed in a given triangle is formed by two lines perpendicular to the given triangle's Euler line. In a right triangle, the Euler line coincides with the median to the hypotenuse—that is, it goes through both the right-angled vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. This is because the right triangle's orthocenter, the intersection of its altitudes, falls on the right-angled vertex while its circumcenter, the intersection of its perpendicular bisectors of sides,
Triangle squares. An obtuse triangle has only one inscribed square, with a side coinciding with part of the triangle's longest side. Within a given triangle, a longer common side is associated with a smaller inscribed square. If an inscribed square has side of length "q" and the triangle has a side of length "a", part of which side coincides with a side of the square, then "q", "a", the altitude "h" from the side "a", and the triangle's area "T" are related according to The largest possible ratio of the area of the inscribed square to the area of the triangle
