Coxeter decompositions of hyperbolic polygons the sum of the angles of a hyperbolic triangle is less than 180 degrees. Coxeter decompositions are named after Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter, an accomplished 20th century geometer. He introduced the Coxeter group, an abstract group generated by reflections. These groups have many uses, including producing the rotations of Platonic solids and tessellating the plane. Given a polygon "P", a group "G" can be generated by reflecting "P" around its sides. If the angles of "P" are /"k" for natural numbers "k", then "G" will be discrete. A Coxeter decomposition of a polygon is a decomposition into a finite number
Heptagonal triangle Heptagonal triangle A heptagonal triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle whose vertices coincide with the first, second, and fourth vertices of a regular heptagon (from an arbitrary starting vertex). Thus its sides coincide with one side and the adjacent shorter and longer diagonals of the regular heptagon. All heptagonal triangles are similar (have the same shape), and so they are collectively known as "the" heptagonal triangle. Its angles have measures formula_1 and formula_2 and it is the only triangle with angles in the ratios 1:2:4. The heptagonal triangle has various remarkable properties. The heptagonal triangle's nine-point center is also its
