Right triangle 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, falls on the midpoint of the hypotenuse. In any right triangle the diameter of the incircle is less than half the hypotenuse, and more strongly it is less than or equal to the hypotenuse times formula_44 In a right triangle with legs "a", "b" and hypotenuse "c", with equality only in the isosceles case. If the altitude from the hypotenuse is denoted "h",
Isosceles triangle formula_10. When the isoperimetric inequality becomes an equality, there is only one such triangle, which is equilateral. If the two equal sides have length formula_2 and the other side has length formula_3, then the internal angle bisector formula_22 from one of the two equal-angled vertices satisfies as well as and conversely, if the latter condition holds, an isosceles triangle parametrized by formula_2 and formula_22 exists. The Steiner–Lehmus theorem states that every triangle with two angle bisectors of equal lengths is isosceles. It was formulated in 1840 by C. L. Lehmus. Its other namesake, Jakob Steiner, was one of the first
