Reuleaux triangle any curve of given constant width. This area is where "s" is the constant width. One method for deriving this area formula is to partition the Reuleaux triangle into an inner equilateral triangle and three curvilinear regions between this inner triangle and the arcs forming the Reuleaux triangle, and then add the areas of these four sets. At the other extreme, the curve of constant width that has the maximum possible area is a circular disk, which has area formula_2. The angles made by each pair of arcs at the corners of a Reuleaux triangle are all equal to 120°.
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
