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
Measurement of a Circle Measurement of a Circle Measurement of a Circle or Dimension of the Circle (Greek: , "Kuklou metrēsis") is a treatise that consists of three propositions by Archimedes, ca. 250 BCE. The treatise is only a fraction of what was a longer work. Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference, of the circle. Any circle with a circumference "c" and a radius "r" is equal in area with a right triangle with the
