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
Right triangle right triangle, see the hyperbolic triangle of a hyperbolic sector. The values of the trigonometric functions can be evaluated exactly for certain angles using right triangles with special angles. These include the "30-60-90 triangle" which can be used to evaluate the trigonometric functions for any multiple of π/6, and the "45-45-90 triangle" which can be used to evaluate the trigonometric functions for any multiple of π/4. Let "H", "G", and "A" be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, and the arithmetic mean of two positive numbers "a" and "b" with "a" > "b". If a right triangle has legs "H"
