  2. Altitude (triangle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_(triangle)

    Altitudes can be used in the computation of the area of a triangle: one-half of the product of an altitude's length and its base's length (symbol b) equals the triangle's area: A = h b /2. Thus, the longest altitude is perpendicular to the shortest side of the triangle.

  3. Spherical geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry

    The angle sum of a triangle is greater than 180° and less than 540°. The area of a triangle is proportional to the excess of its angle sum over 180°. Two triangles with the same angle sum are equal in area. There is an upper bound for the area of triangles.

  4. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_triangle

    The area of a triangle can be demonstrated, for example by means of the congruence of triangles, as half of the area of a parallelogram that has the same base length and height. A graphic derivation of the formula T = h 2 b {\displaystyle T={\frac {h}{2}}b} that avoids the usual procedure of doubling the area of the triangle and then halving it.

  5. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    The elevation is the signed angle from the x-y reference plane to the radial line segment OP, where positive angles are designated as upward, towards the zenith reference. Elevation is 90 degrees (= ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) minus inclination. Thus, if the inclination is 60 degrees (= ⁠ π / 3 ⁠ radians), then the elevation is 30 degrees ...

  6. Triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle

    The area formula for a triangle can be proven by cutting two copies of the triangle into pieces and rearranging them into a rectangle. In the Euclidean plane, area is defined by comparison with a square of side length ⁠ ⁠, which has area 1. There are several ways to calculate the area of an arbitrary triangle.

  7. Isometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection

    By rotating the cube by 45° on the x-axis, the point (1, 1, 1) will therefore become (1, 0, √ 2) as depicted in the diagram. The second rotation aims to bring the same point on the positive z -axis and so needs to perform a rotation of value equal to the arctangent of 1 ⁄ √ 2 which is approximately 35.264°.

    Construct the orthocenter of triangle and three midpoints (say A', B' C' ) between vertices and orthocenter. Construct a circumcircle of A'B'C' . This is the nine-point circle, it intersects each side of the original triangle at two points: the base of altitude and midpoint. Construct an intersection of one side with the circle at midpoint now ...

  9. Surface triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_triangulation

    However, the triangles may vary in shape and extension in object space, posing a potential drawback. This can be minimized through adaptive methods that consider step width while triangulating the parameter area. To triangulate an implicit surface (defined by one or more equations) is more difficult. There exist essentially two methods.
