A triangle is a two-dimensional simplex.
The triangle is important as all polygons can be defined as the union of a set of triangles, and all polytopes in greater than two dimensions can be defined as the hypervolume bounded by the union of a set of triangles.
Geometry
Equations
- The area of an arbitrary triangle is:
absin(C)2-1
- where a and b are two sides of the triangle and C is the angle between them.
Segmentation
The equilateral triangle of side 1 may be segmented into 3× triangle with sides 1, 2×3-2-1 and angles 2×30°, 120°.
