Sum of angles of a triangle Sum of angles of a triangle In several geometries, a triangle has three "vertices" and three "sides", where three angles of a triangle are formed at each vertex by a pair of adjacent sides. In a Euclidean space, the sum of measures of these three angles of any triangle is invariably equal to the straight angle, also expressed as 180 °, radians, two right angles, or a half-turn. It was unknown for a long time whether other geometries exist, where this sum is different. The influence of this problem on mathematics was particularly strong during the 19th century. Ultimately, the
Incircle and excircles of a triangle using the side lengths of the triangle relative to the perimeter—i.e., using the barycentric coordinates given above, normalized to sum to unity—as weights. (The weights are positive so the incenter lies inside the triangle as stated above.) If the three vertices are located at formula_14, formula_15, and formula_16, and the sides opposite these vertices have corresponding lengths formula_7, formula_8, and formula_9, then the incenter is at Denoting the incenter of triangle "ABC" as "I", the distances from the incenter to the vertices combined with the lengths of the triangle sides obey the equation Additionally, where "R" and "r" are the
