Equilateral triangle a triangle with any two sides "a" and "b", and an angle "C" between them is Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°, so The sine of 60° is formula_50. Thus since all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Equilateral triangles have frequently appeared in man made constructions: Equilateral triangle In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon,
Weitzenböck's inequality that the sum of areas of the equilateral triangles is always greater or equal than the threefold area of the original triangle. This can now can be shown by replicating area of the triangle three times within the equilateral triangles. To achieve that the Fermat point is used to partition the triangle into three obtuse subtriangles with a formula_8 angle and each of those subtriangles is replicated three times within the equilateral triangle next to it. This only works if every angle of the triangle is smaller than formula_8, since otherwise the Fermat point is not located in the interior
