Integer triangle harmonic progression. This is because such angles have to be rational angles of the form with rational 0 < < 1. But all the angles of integer triangles must have rational cosines and this will occur only when = i.e. the integer triangle is equilateral. The square of each internal angle bisector of an integer triangle is rational, because the general triangle formula for the internal angle bisector of angle "A" is formula_2 where "s" is the semiperimeter (and likewise for the other angles' bisectors). Any altitude dropped from a vertex onto an opposite side or its extension will split
Isosceles triangle not true for other triangles. If any two of an angle bisector, median, or altitude coincide in a given triangle, that triangle must be isosceles. The area formula_5 of an isosceles triangle can be derived from the formula for its height, and from the general formula for the area of a triangle as half the product of base and height: The same area formula can also be derived from Heron's formula for the area of a triangle from its three sides. However, applying Heron's formula directly can be numerically unstable for isosceles triangles with very sharp angles, because of the
