Right triangle and "G" and hypotenuse "A", then and where formula_40 is the golden ratio formula_41 Since the sides of this right triangle are in geometric progression, this is the Kepler triangle. Thales' theorem states that if "A" is any point of the circle with diameter "BC" (except "B" or "C" themselves) "ABC" is a right triangle where "A" is the right angle. The converse states that if a right triangle is inscribed in a circle then the hypotenuse will be a diameter of the circle. A corollary is that the length of the hypotenuse is twice the distance from the right
Automedian triangle much more recent. The problem of characterizing automedian triangles was posed in the late 19th century in the "Educational Times" (in French) by Joseph Jean Baptiste Neuberg, and solved there with the formula 2"a" = "b" + "c" by William John Greenstreet. Apart from the trivial cases of equilateral triangles, the triangle with side lengths 17, 13, and 7 is the smallest (by area or perimeter) automedian triangle with integer side lengths. There is only one automedian right triangle, the triangle with side lengths proportional to 1, , and . This triangle is the second triangle in the spiral of
