Integer triangle rational formula_14 where formula_15 reduces the generated Heronian triangle to its primitive and formula_16 scales up this primitive to the required size. A Pythagorean triangle is right angled and Heronian. Its three integer sides are known as a Pythagorean triple or Pythagorean triplet or Pythagorean triad. All Pythagorean triples formula_17 with hypotenuse formula_18 which are primitive (the sides having no common factor) can be generated by where "m" and "n" are coprime integers and one of them is even with "m" > "n". Every even number greater than 2 can be the leg of a Pythagorean triangle (not necessarily primitive)
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
