Segol Segol Segol ( ) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign that is represented by three dots forming an upside down equilateral triangle "ֶ ". As such, it resembles an upside down therefore sign (a because sign) underneath a letter. In modern Hebrew, it indicates the phoneme which is similar to "e" in the English word sound in "sell" and is transliterated as an "e". In Modern Hebrew, segol does the Hataf Segol ( , "Reduced Segol"). The reduced (or "ħataf") niqqud exist for segol, patah, and kamatz which contain a shva next to it. The following table contains the pronunciation
Equilateral triangle terms of side length "a" can be derived directly using the Pythagorean theorem or using trigonometry. The area of a triangle is half of one side "a" times the height "h" from that side: The legs of either right triangle formed by an altitude of the equilateral triangle are half of the base "a", and the hypotenuse is the side "a" of the equilateral triangle. The height of an equilateral triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem so that Substituting "h" into the area formula (1/2)"ah" gives the area formula for the equilateral triangle: Using trigonometry, the area of
