Golden triangle (mathematics) Golden triangle (mathematics) A golden triangle, also known as the sublime triangle,is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the distinct side: Golden triangles are found in the nets of several stellations of dodecahedrons and icosahedrons. Also, it is the shape of the triangles found in the points of pentagrams. The vertex angle is equal to Since the angles of a triangle sum to 180°, base angles are therefore 72° each. The golden triangle can also be found in a regular decagon, or an equiangular and equilateral ten-sided polygon, by connecting any two
Incircle and excircles of a triangle Because the Incenter is the same distance of all sides the trilinear coordinates for the incenter are The barycentric coordinates for a point in a triangle give weights such that the point is the weighted average of the triangle vertex positions. Barycentric coordinates for the incenter are given by where formula_7, formula_8, and formula_9 are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, or equivalently (using the law of sines) by where formula_11, formula_12, and formula_13 are the angles at the three vertices. The Cartesian coordinates of the incenter are a weighted average of the coordinates of the three vertices
