Integer triangle harmonic progression. This is because such angles have to be rational angles of the form with rational 0 < < 1. But all the angles of integer triangles must have rational cosines and this will occur only when = i.e. the integer triangle is equilateral. The square of each internal angle bisector of an integer triangle is rational, because the general triangle formula for the internal angle bisector of angle "A" is formula_2 where "s" is the semiperimeter (and likewise for the other angles' bisectors). Any altitude dropped from a vertex onto an opposite side or its extension will split
Skinny triangle the stations could be on opposite sides of the Earth. However, this distance is still short compared to the distance to the object being measured (the height of the triangle) and the skinny triangle solution can be applied and still achieve great accuracy. The alternative method of measuring the base angles is theoretically possible but not so accurate. The base angles are very nearly right angles and would need to be measured with much greater precision than the parallax angle in order to get the same accuracy. The same method of measuring parallax angles and applying the skinny triangle can
