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 group of these relations and that Δ("l,m,n") is a discrete group of motions of the corresponding space. Thus a triangle group is a reflection group that admits a group presentation An abstract group with this presentation is a Coxeter group with three generators. Given any natural numbers "l", "m", "n" > 1 exactly one of the classical two-dimensional geometries (Euclidean, spherical, or hyperbolic) admits a triangle with the angles (π/l, π/m, π/n), and the space is tiled by reflections of the triangle. The sum of the angles of the triangle determines the type of the geometry by the Gauss–Bonnet theorem: it
