Golden triangle (mathematics) Golden triangle (mathematics) A golden triangle, also known as the sublime triangle,is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the distinct side: Golden triangles are found in the nets of several stellations of dodecahedrons and icosahedrons. Also, it is the shape of the triangles found in the points of pentagrams. The vertex angle is equal to Since the angles of a triangle sum to 180°, base angles are therefore 72° each. The golden triangle can also be found in a regular decagon, or an equiangular and equilateral ten-sided polygon, by connecting any two
Hyperbolic triangle scale is most convenient if the lengths are measured in terms of the absolute length (a special unit of length analogous to a relations between distances in spherical geometry). This choice for this length scale makes formulas simpler. In terms of the Poincaré half-plane model absolute length corresponds to the infinitesimal metric formula_1 and in the Poincaré disk model to formula_2. In terms of the (constant and negative) Gaussian curvature of a hyperbolic plane, a unit of absolute length corresponds to a length of In a hyperbolic triangle the sum of the angles "A", "B", "C" (respectively opposite to the
