    Similar right triangles illustrating the tangent and secant trigonometric functions Trigonometric functions and their reciprocals on the unit circle. The Pythagorean theorem applied to the blue triangle shows the identity 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ, and applied to the red triangle shows that 1 + tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ.

  3. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    Any two equilateral triangles are similar. Two triangles, both similar to a third triangle, are similar to each other (transitivity of similarity of triangles). Corresponding altitudes of similar triangles have the same ratio as the corresponding sides. Two right triangles are similar if the hypotenuse and one other side have lengths in the ...

  4. Pythagorean theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

    In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

    English: Simplified version of similar triangles proof for Pythagoras' theorem. In triangle ACB, angle ACB is the right angle. CH is a perpendicular on hypotenuse AB of triangle ACB. In triangle AHC and triangle ACB, ∠AHC=∠ACB as each is a right angle. ∠HAC=∠CAB as they are common angles at vertex A. Thus triangle AHC is similar to ...

    The shaded blue and green triangles, and the red-outlined triangle are all right-angled and similar, and all contain the angle . The hypotenuse B D ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {BD}}} of the red-outlined triangle has length 2 sin ⁡ θ {\displaystyle 2\sin \theta } , so its side D E ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {DE}}} has length 2 sin 2 ⁡ θ ...

  9. Similarity system of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_System_of_Triangles

    In sum, a configuration is a similarity system when all triangles in the set, lie in the same plane and the following holds true: if there are n triangles in the set and n − 1 triangles are directly similar, then n triangles are directly similar. [1]
