Trigonometric constants expressed in real radicals in a regular polygon: a vertex, an edge center containing that vertex, and the polygon center. An "n"-gon can be divided into 2"n" right triangles with angles of , 90 − , 90} degrees, for "n" in 3, 4, 5, … Constructibility of 3, 4, 5, and 15-sided polygons are the basis, and angle bisectors allow multiples of two to also be derived. In degree format, sin and cos of 0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 can be calculated from their right angled triangles, using the Pythagorean theorem. In radian format, sin and cos of / 2 can be expressed
Isosceles triangle as a satire of social hierarchy: isosceles triangles represented the working class, with acute isosceles triangles higher in the hierarchy than right or obtuse isosceles triangles. As well as the isosceles right triangle, several other specific shapes of isosceles triangles have been studied. These include the Calabi triangle (a triangle with three congruent inscribed squares), the golden triangle and golden gnomon (two isosceles triangles whose sides and base are in the golden ratio), the 80-80-20 triangle appearing in the Langley’s Adventitious Angles puzzle, and the 30-30-120 triangle of the triakis triangular tiling. Five Catalan solids, the triakis tetrahedron, triakis octahedron,
