Special right triangle triangles are used to aid in calculating common trigonometric functions, as below: The 45°–45°–90° triangle, the 30°–60°–90° triangle, and the equilateral/equiangular (60°–60°–60°) triangle are the three Möbius triangles in the plane, meaning that they tessellate the plane via reflections in their sides; see Triangle group. In plane geometry, constructing the diagonal of a square results in a triangle whose three angles are in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2, adding up to 180° or radians. Hence, the angles respectively measure 45° (), 45° (), and 90° (). The sides in this triangle are in the ratio 1 : 1
Three degrees of influence affect our friends' friends, and so on. However, across a broad set of empirical settings, using both observational and experimental methods, they observed that the effect seems, in many cases, to no longer be meaningful at a social horizon of three degrees. Christakis and Fowler examined phenomena from various domains, such as obesity, happiness, cooperation, and voting. Investigations by other groups have subsequently explored many other phenomena in this way (including crime, social learning, etc.). Influence dissipates after three degrees (to and from friends’ friends’ friends) for three reasons, Christakis and Fowler propose: Initial studies using observational data by Christakis
