Triangle center Since rotations and translations may be regarded as double reflections they too must preserve triangle centers. These invariance properties provide justification for the definition. Some other names for dilation are uniform scaling, isotropic scaling, homothety, and homothecy. The study of triangle centers traditionally is concerned with Euclidean geometry, but triangle centers can also be studied in hyperbolic geometry. Using gyrotrigonometry, expressions for trigonometric barycentric coordinates can be calculated that have the same form for both Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. In order for the expressions to coincide, the expressions must "not" encapsulate the specification of the angle sum being 180 degrees.
Hyperbolic triangle relations between the sides "s" and the angles "A" of an equilateral triangle (a triangle where all sides have the same length and all angles are equal). The relations are: Whether "C" is a right angle or not, the following relationships hold: The hyperbolic law of cosines is as follows: Its dual theorem is There is also a "law of sines": and a four-parts formula: For hyperbolic trigonometry: Hyperbolic triangle In hyperbolic geometry, a hyperbolic triangle is a triangle in the hyperbolic plane. It consists of three line segments called "sides" or "edges" and three points called "angles" or "vertices".
