Triangle the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two other sides. If the hypotenuse has length "c", and the legs have lengths "a" and "b", then the theorem states that The converse is true: if the lengths of the sides of a triangle satisfy the above equation, then the triangle has a right angle opposite side "c". Some other facts about right triangles: For all triangles, angles and sides are related by the law of cosines and law of sines (also called the "cosine rule" and "sine rule"). The triangle inequality states that the sum
Incircle and excircles of a triangle The touchpoint opposite A is denoted "T", etc. This Gergonne triangle "TTT" is also known as the contact triangle or intouch triangle of "ABC". Its area is where formula_56, formula_57, formula_58 are the area, radius of the incircle and semiperimeter of the original triangle, and formula_7, formula_8, formula_9 are the side lengths of the original triangle. This is the same area as that of the extouch triangle. The three lines "AT", "BT" and "CT" intersect in a single point called the Gergonne point, denoted as "Ge" - "X(7)". The Gergonne point lies in the open orthocentroidal disk punctured at its
