The Crystal Palace pane of glass (49 inches) as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, thereby creating a triangle with a length-to-height ratio of 2.5:1, whose base (adjacent side) was 4 feet long. By mirroring this triangle he obtained the 8-foot-wide gables that formed the vertical faces at either end of the prism, each of which was 24' long. With this arrangement, Paxton could glaze the entire roof surface with identical panes that did not need to be trimmed. Paxton placed three of these 8' x 24' roof units side-by-side, horizontally supported by a grid of cast iron beams, which was held up
Incircle and excircles of a triangle using the side lengths of the triangle relative to the perimeter—i.e., using the barycentric coordinates given above, normalized to sum to unity—as weights. (The weights are positive so the incenter lies inside the triangle as stated above.) If the three vertices are located at formula_14, formula_15, and formula_16, and the sides opposite these vertices have corresponding lengths formula_7, formula_8, and formula_9, then the incenter is at Denoting the incenter of triangle "ABC" as "I", the distances from the incenter to the vertices combined with the lengths of the triangle sides obey the equation Additionally, where "R" and "r" are the
