Right triangle altitude to the hypotenuse is related to the legs of the right triangle by For solutions of this equation in integer values of "a, b, f", and "c", see here. The altitude from either leg coincides with the other leg. Since these intersect at the right-angled vertex, the right triangle's orthocenter—the intersection of its three altitudes—coincides with the right-angled vertex. The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the
Medial triangle of "ABC": the parallel to "AB" through "C", the parallel to "AC" through "B", and the parallel to "BC" through "A". Trilinear coordinates for the vertices of the anticomplementary triangle, X'Y'Z', are given by The name "anticomplementary triangle" corresponds to the fact that its vertices are the anticomplements of the vertices A, B, C of the reference triangle. The vertices of the medial triangle are the complements of A, B, C. Medial triangle Each side of the medial triangle is called a "midsegment" (or "midline"). In general, a midsegment of a triangle is a line segment which joins the midpoints
