Right triangle a right triangle. For a given angle, a right triangle may be constructed with this angle, and the sides labeled opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse with reference to this angle according to the definitions above. These ratios of the sides do not depend on the particular right triangle chosen, but only on the given angle, since all triangles constructed this way are similar. If, for a given angle α, the opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse are labeled "O", "A" and "H" respectively, then the trigonometric functions are For the expression of hyperbolic functions as ratio of the sides of a
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
