Right triangle and "G" and hypotenuse "A", then and where formula_40 is the golden ratio formula_41 Since the sides of this right triangle are in geometric progression, this is the Kepler triangle. Thales' theorem states that if "A" is any point of the circle with diameter "BC" (except "B" or "C" themselves) "ABC" is a right triangle where "A" is the right angle. The converse states that if a right triangle is inscribed in a circle then the hypotenuse will be a diameter of the circle. A corollary is that the length of the hypotenuse is twice the distance from the right
Triangle the most commonly encountered constructions are explained. A perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle is a straight line passing through the midpoint of the side and being perpendicular to it, i.e. forming a right angle with it. The three perpendicular bisectors meet in a single point, the triangle's circumcenter, usually denoted by O; this point is the center of the circumcircle, the circle passing through all three vertices. The diameter of this circle, called the "circumdiameter", can be found from the law of sines stated above. The circumcircle's radius is called the "circumradius". Thales' theorem implies that if
