Isosceles triangle two equal sides, and for isosceles sets, sets of points every three of which form an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the "vertex angle" and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the "base angles". The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. In the equilateral triangle case, since all sides are equal, any side can be called the base. Whether an isosceles triangle
Extouch triangle Extouch triangle In geometry, the extouch triangle of a triangle is formed by joining the points at which the three excircles touch the triangle. The vertices of the extouch triangle are given in trilinear coordinates by: or equivalently, where "a,b,c" are the lengths of the sides opposite angles "A, B, C" respectively, The triangle's splitters are lines connecting the vertices of the original triangle to the corresponding vertices of the extouch triangle; they bisect the triangle's perimeter and meet at the Nagel point. This is shown in blue and labelled "N" in the diagram. The Mandart inellipse is tangent to
