There are five Lagrange points for the Sun–Earth system, and five different Lagrange points for the Earth–Moon system. L 1 , L 2 , and L 3 are on the line through the centers of the two large bodies, while L 4 and L 5 each act as the third vertex of an equilateral triangle formed with the centers of the two large bodies.
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.
Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane.

Lagrange and other interpolation at equally spaced points, as in the example above, yield a polynomial oscillating above and below the true function. This behaviour tends to grow with the number of points, leading to a divergence known as Runge's phenomenon; the problem may be eliminated by choosing interpolation points at Chebyshev nodes. [5]
A triangle with sides a, b, and c. In geometry, Heron's formula (or Hero's formula) gives the area of a triangle in terms of the three side lengths , , . Letting be the semiperimeter of the triangle, = (+ +), the area is [1]
basic physics formula triangles: Image title: Image mnemonics in the style of the Ohm's law formula triangle for high-school physics by CMG Lee. Covering the unknown in each mnemonic gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. In the SVG file, hover over a symbol for its meaning and formula. Width: 100%: Height: 100%
The process of interpolation maps the function f to a polynomial p. This defines a mapping X from the space C([a, b]) of all continuous functions on [a, b] to itself. The map X is linear and it is a projection on the subspace () of polynomials of degree n or less. The Lebesgue constant L is defined as the operator norm of X.
Here is a definition of triangle geometry from 1887: "Being given a point M in the plane of the triangle, we can always find, in an infinity of manners, a second point M' that corresponds to the first one according to an imagined geometrical law; these two points have between them geometrical relations whose simplicity depends on the more or ...
