Special right triangle is 90°, leaving the remaining angle to be 30°. Right triangles whose sides are of integer lengths, with the sides collectively known as Pythagorean triples, possess angles that cannot all be rational numbers of degrees. (This follows from Niven's theorem.) They are most useful in that they may be easily remembered and any multiple of the sides produces the same relationship. Using Euclid's formula for generating Pythagorean triples, the sides must be in the ratio where "m" and "n" are any positive integers such that . There are several Pythagorean triples which are well-known, including those with sides in the
Fermat point one another at angles of 60°. The triangles RAC and BAQ are congruent because the second is a 60° rotation of the first about A. Hence ∠ARF = ∠ABF and ∠AQF = ∠ACF. By the converse of the inscribed angle theorem applied to the segment AF, the points ARBF are concyclic (they lie on a circle). Similarly, the points AFCQ are concyclic. ∠ARB = 60°, so ∠AFB = 120°, using the inscribed angle theorem. Similarly, ∠AFC = 120°. So ∠BFC = 120°. So, ∠BFC and ∠BPC add up to 180°. Using the inscribed angle theorem, this implies that the points
