Angle trisection with coefficients in the field generated by these numbers. Therefore, any number that is constructible by a sequence of steps is a root of a minimal polynomial whose degree is a power of two. Note also that radians (60 degrees, written 60°) is constructible. The argument below shows that it is impossible to construct a 20° angle. This implies that a 60° angle cannot be trisected, and thus that an arbitrary angle cannot be trisected. Denote the set of rational numbers by . If 60° could be trisected, the degree of a minimal polynomial of over would be a power
Altitude (triangle) The orthocenter lies inside the triangle if and only if the triangle is acute (i.e. does not have an angle greater than or equal to a right angle). If one angle is a right angle, the orthocenter coincides with the vertex at the right angle. Let denote the vertices and also the angles of the triangle, and let be the side lengths. The orthocenter has trilinear coordinates formula_2 and barycentric coordinates Since barycentric coordinates are all positive for a point in a triangle's interior but at least one is negative for a point in the exterior, and two of the
