Right triangle two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). This can be stated in equation form as where "c" is the length of the hypotenuse, and "a" and "b" are the lengths of the remaining two sides. Pythagorean triples are integer values of "a, b, c" satisfying this equation. The radius of the incircle of a right triangle with legs "a" and "b" and hypotenuse "c" is The radius of the circumcircle is half the length of the hypotenuse, Thus the sum of the circumradius and the inradius is half the sum of the legs: One of the
Altitude (triangle) barycentric coordinates are zero for a vertex point, the barycentric coordinates given for the orthocenter show that the orthocenter is in an acute triangle's interior, on the right-angled vertex of a right triangle, and exterior to an obtuse triangle. In the complex plane, let the points and represent the numbers formula_5, formula_6 and, respectively, formula_7 and assume that the circumcenter of triangle is located at the origin of the plane. Then, the complex number is represented by the point , namely the orthocenter of triangle . From this, the following characterizations of the orthocenter by means of free vectors can
