Golden triangle (mathematics) Golden triangle (mathematics) A golden triangle, also known as the sublime triangle,is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the distinct side: Golden triangles are found in the nets of several stellations of dodecahedrons and icosahedrons. Also, it is the shape of the triangles found in the points of pentagrams. The vertex angle is equal to Since the angles of a triangle sum to 180°, base angles are therefore 72° each. The golden triangle can also be found in a regular decagon, or an equiangular and equilateral ten-sided polygon, by connecting any two
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
