  2. Solution of triangles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_of_triangles

    For the spherical case, one can first compute the length of side from the point at α to the ship (i.e. the side opposite to β) via the ASA formula ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ (+) + ⁡ ⁡ (), and insert this into the AAS formula for the right subtriangle that contains the angle α and the sides b and d: ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡. (The planar ...

  3. Nonagonal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonagonal_number

    Specifically, the nth nonagonal number counts the dots in a pattern of n nested nonagons, all sharing a common corner, where the ith nonagon in the pattern has sides made of i dots spaced one unit apart from each other. The nonagonal number for n is given by the formula: [2] ().

  4. Area of a triangle - Wikipedia

    Three of them are the medians, which are the only area bisectors that go through the centroid. Three other area bisectors are parallel to the triangle's sides. Any line through a triangle that splits both the triangle's area and its perimeter in half goes through the triangle's incenter. There can be one, two, or three of these for any given ...

  5. Polygon triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_triangulation

    A point-set triangulation is a polygon triangulation of the convex hull of a set of points. A Delaunay triangulation is another way to create a triangulation based on a set of points. The associahedron is a polytope whose vertices correspond to the triangulations of a convex polygon. Polygon triangle covering, in which the triangles may overlap.

  6. Nonagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonagon

    In geometry, a nonagon (/ ˈ n ɒ n ə ɡ ɒ n /) or enneagon (/ ˈ ɛ n i ə ɡ ɒ n /) is a nine-sided polygon or 9-gon. The name nonagon is a prefix hybrid formation , from Latin ( nonus , "ninth" + gonon ), used equivalently, attested already in the 16th century in French nonogone and in English from the 17th century.

  7. Figurate number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figurate_number

    To transform from the n-square (the square of size n) to the (n + 1)-square, one adjoins 2n + 1 elements: one to the end of each row (n elements), one to the end of each column (n elements), and a single one to the corner. For example, when transforming the 7-square to the 8-square, we add 15 elements; these adjunctions are the 8s in the above ...

  8. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    If a point lies on an edge of the triangle but not at a vertex, one of the area coordinates (the one associated with the opposite vertex) is zero, while the other two lie in the open interval (,). If the point lies on a vertex, the coordinate associated with that vertex equals 1 and the others equal zero. Finally, if the point lies outside the ...

  9. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A kite with three 108° angles and one 36° angle forms the convex hull of the lute of Pythagoras, a fractal made of nested pentagrams. [23] The four sides of this kite lie on four of the sides of a regular pentagon, with a golden triangle glued onto the fifth side. [17] Part of an aperiodic tiling with prototiles made from eight kites
