Triangle see that the Earth's surface is locally flat: If we draw an arbitrarily small triangle in the neighborhood of one point on the Earth's surface, the fraction "f" of the Earth's surface which is enclosed by the triangle will be arbitrarily close to zero. In this case the angle sum formula simplifies to 180°, which we know is what Euclidean geometry tells us for triangles on a flat surface. Rectangles have been the most popular and common geometric form for buildings since the shape is easy to stack and organize; as a standard, it is easy to design furniture and
Incircle and excircles of a triangle any vertex to the incircle tangency on either adjacent side is half the sum of the vertex's adjacent sides minus half the opposite side. Thus for example for vertex "B" and adjacent tangencies "T" and "T", The incircle radius is no greater than one-ninth the sum of the altitudes. The squared distance from the incenter "I" to the circumcenter "O" is given by and the distance from the incenter to the center "N" of the nine point circle is The incenter lies in the medial triangle (whose vertices are the midpoints of the sides). The radius of the incircle is
