Right triangle a right triangle. For a given angle, a right triangle may be constructed with this angle, and the sides labeled opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse with reference to this angle according to the definitions above. These ratios of the sides do not depend on the particular right triangle chosen, but only on the given angle, since all triangles constructed this way are similar. If, for a given angle α, the opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse are labeled "O", "A" and "H" respectively, then the trigonometric functions are For the expression of hyperbolic functions as ratio of the sides of a
Heronian triangle triangles with these sidelengths, and joins them together along the sides of length "a", to obtain a triangle with integer side lengths "c", "e", and "b" + "d", and with area If "a" is even then the area "A" is an integer. Less obviously, if "a" is odd then "A" is still an integer, as "b" and "d" must both be even, making "b"+"d" even too. Some Heronian triangles cannot be obtained by joining together two right-angled triangles with integer sides as described above. For example, a 5, 29, 30 Heronian triangle with area 72 cannot be constructed from two
