Equilateral triangle Equilateral triangle In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle. Denoting the common length of the sides of the equilateral triangle as "a", we can determine using the Pythagorean theorem that: Denoting the radius of the circumscribed circle as "R", we can determine using trigonometry that: Many of these quantities
Schwarz triangle function case the region in the sector between the radii "OA" and "OB" outside the edge "AB" is convex as the intersection of three convex regions. By induction the angles at "A" and "B" are greater than or equal to /3. Thus the geodesics to "C" from "A" and "B" start off in the region; by convexity, the triangle "ABC" lies wholly inside the region. The quadrilateral "OACB" has all its angles less than (since "OAB" is a geodesic triangle), so is convex. Hence the radius "OC" lies inside the angle of the triangle "ABC" near "C". Thus the angles between
