Special right triangle than 256: Isosceles right-angled triangles cannot have sides with integer values, because the ratio of the hypotenuse to either other side is , but cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. However, infinitely many "almost-isosceles" right triangles do exist. These are right-angled triangles with integral sides for which the lengths of the non-hypotenuse edges differ by one. Such almost-isosceles right-angled triangles can be obtained recursively, "a" is length of hypotenuse, "n" = 1, 2, 3, ... Equivalently, where {"x", "y"} are the solutions to the Pell equation , with the hypotenuse "y" being the odd terms of 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
