Right triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex. This is because the right triangle's orthocenter, the intersection of its altitudes, falls on the right-angled vertex while its circumcenter, the intersection of its perpendicular bisectors of sides, falls on the midpoint of the hypotenuse. In any right triangle the diameter of the incircle is less than half the hypotenuse, and more strongly it is less than or equal to the hypotenuse times formula_44 In a right triangle with legs "a", "b" and hypotenuse "c", with equality only in the isosceles case. If the altitude from the hypotenuse is denoted "h",
Isosceles triangle two equal sides, and for isosceles sets, sets of points every three of which form an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the "vertex angle" and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the "base angles". The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. In the equilateral triangle case, since all sides are equal, any side can be called the base. Whether an isosceles triangle
