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.
Skinny triangle based on the small-angle approximations; and, when formula_5 is in radians. The proof of the skinny triangle solution follows from the small-angle approximation by applying the law of sines. Again referring to figure 1; The term formula_7 represents the base angle of the triangle and is this value because the sum of the internal angles of any triangle (in this case the two base angles plus "θ") are equal to "π". Applying the small angle approximations to the law of sines above results in; the desired result. This result is equivalent to assuming that the length of the base of
