  2. Isosceles triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_triangle

    If the apex angle () and leg lengths () of an isosceles triangle are known, then the area of that triangle is: [20] T = 1 2 a 2 sin ⁡ θ . {\displaystyle T={\frac {1}{2}}a^{2}\sin \theta .} This is a special case of the general formula for the area of a triangle as half the product of two sides times the sine of the included angle.

  3. Internal and external angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

    The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles.In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180(n–2k)°, where n is the number of vertices, and the strictly positive integer k is the number of total (360 ...

  4. Polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon

    Exterior angle – The exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle. Tracing around a convex n-gon, the angle "turned" at a corner is the exterior or external angle. Tracing all the way around the polygon makes one full turn, so the sum of the exterior angles must be 360°. This argument can be generalized to concave simple ...

  5. Thales's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales's_theorem

    The following facts are used: the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180° and the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. Provided AC is a diameter , angle at B is constant right (90°).

  6. Sum of angles of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_angles_of_a_triangle

    In a Euclidean space, the sum of angles of a triangle equals a straight angle (180 degrees, π radians, two right angles, or a half-turn). A triangle has three angles, one at each vertex, bounded by a pair of adjacent sides. It was unknown for a long time whether other geometries exist, for which this sum is different. The influence of this ...

  7. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two interior angles that are not adjacent to it; this is the exterior angle theorem. [34] The sum of the measures of the three exterior angles (one for each vertex) of any triangle is 360 degrees, and indeed, this is true for any convex polygon, no matter ...

  8. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    Therefore, triangle VOA is isosceles, so angle ∠BVA (the inscribed angle) and angle ∠VAO are equal; let each of them be denoted as ψ. Angles ∠BOA and ∠AOV are supplementary, summing to a straight angle (180°), so angle ∠AOV measures 180° − θ. The three angles of triangle VOA must sum to 180°:

  9. Golden triangle (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_triangle_(mathematics)

    A golden triangle. The ratio a/b is the golden ratio φ. The vertex angle is =.Base angles are 72° each. Golden gnomon, having side lengths 1, 1, and .. A golden triangle, also called a sublime triangle, [1] is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio to the base side:
