Integer triangle side of the formula are integers it follows that all integer triangles must have an integer value of "16T" and "T" will be rational. By the law of cosines, every angle of an integer triangle has a rational cosine. If the angles of any triangle form an arithmetic progression then one of its angles must be 60°. For integer triangles the remaining angles must also have rational cosines and a method of generating such triangles is given below. However, apart from the trivial case of an equilateral triangle there are no integer triangles whose angles form either a geometric or
Velocity triangle Velocity triangle In turbomachinery, a velocity triangle or a velocity diagram is a triangle representing the various components of velocities of the working fluid in a turbomachine. Velocity triangles may be drawn for both the inlet and outlet sections of any turbomachine. The vector nature of velocity is utilized in the triangles, and the most basic form of a velocity triangle consists of the tangential velocity, the absolute velocity and the relative velocity of the fluid making up three sides of the triangle. A general velocity triangle consists of the following vectors: The following angles are encountered during the analysis:
