Heptagonal triangle heptagonal triangle's orthic triangle, with vertices at the feet of the altitudes, is similar to the heptagonal triangle, with similarity ratio 1:2. The heptagonal triangle is the only obtuse triangle that is similar to its orthic triangle (the equilateral triangle being the only acute one). The various trigonometric identities associated with the heptagonal triangle include these:, The cubic equation has solutions formula_66 and formula_67 which are the squared sines of the angles of the triangle. The positive solution of the cubic equation equals formula_69 which is twice the cosine of one of the triangle’s angles. We also have: For an
Triangle angles is equal to 90°, adding up to a total of 270°. Specifically, on a sphere the sum of the angles of a triangle is where "f" is the fraction of the sphere's area which is enclosed by the triangle. For example, suppose that we draw a triangle on the Earth's surface with vertices at the North Pole, at a point on the equator at 0° longitude, and a point on the equator at 90° West longitude. The great circle line between the latter two points is the equator, and the great circle line between either of those points and
