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,
Special right triangle within a regular icosahedron of side length "c": the shortest line segment from any vertex "V" to the plane of its five neighbors has length "a", and the endpoints of this line segment together with any of the neighbors of "V" form the vertices of a right triangle with sides "a", "b", and "c". Special right triangle A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist. For example, a right triangle may have angles that form simple relationships, such as 45°–45°–90°. This is called
