Acute and obtuse triangles 5). The two oblique Heron triangles that share the smallest area are the acute one with sides (6, 5, 5) and the obtuse one with sides (8, 5, 5), the area of each being 12. Acute and obtuse triangles An acute triangle is a triangle with all three angles acute (less than 90°). An obtuse triangle is one with one obtuse angle (greater than 90°) and two acute angles. Since a triangle's angles must sum to 180°, no triangle can have more than one obtuse angle. Acute and obtuse triangles are the two different types of oblique triangles—triangles that are
Triangle center if the trilinear coordinates of P can be expressed in the form f(A) : f(B) : f(C) where f(A) is a function of the angle A alone and does not depend on the other angles or on the side lengths. A triangle center P is called a "transcendental triangle center" if P has no trilinear representation using only algebraic functions of a, b and c. Let "f" be a triangle center function. If two sides of a triangle are equal (say "a" = "b") then so two components of the associated triangle center are always equal. Therefore all triangle centers
