Olympic triangle be perfectly sharp, either, since it is a course. Traditionally the configuration of the triangle is an equilateral triangle (3 equal sides and 3 equal angles of 60 degrees) with a ratio of the windward leg to a reaching leg being 1:1. In that case the course length for the 9 legs described above is 9 times the length of the windward leg. The angle at each point of the triangle is 60 degrees. The windward leg is generally aligned with the average wind direction. Another configuration is a triangle with a right angle at the wing mark and 45
Exterior angle theorem segments). Only one of these angles contains the third side of the triangle in its interior, and this angle is called an "interior angle" of the triangle. In the picture below, the angles "∠ABC", "∠BCA" and "∠CAB" are the three interior angles of the triangle. An "exterior angle" is formed by extending one of the sides of the triangle; the angle between the extended side and the other side is the exterior angle. In the picture, angle "∠ACD" is an exterior angle. The proof of Proposition 1.16 given by Euclid is often cited as one place where Euclid gives a
