If two triangles do not meet the Delaunay condition, switching the common edge BD for the common edge AC produces two triangles that do meet the Delaunay condition:

If we insert vertices in random order, it turns out ( by a somewhat intricate proof ) that each insertion will flip, on average, only O ( 1 ) triangles – although sometimes it will flip many more.

* SAS ( Side-Angle-Side ): If two pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, and the included angles are equal in measurement, then the triangles are congruent.

* SSS ( Side-Side-Side ): If three pairs of sides of two triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

* ASA ( Angle-Side-Angle ): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and the included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

* AAS ( Angle-Angle-Side ): If two pairs of angles of two triangles are equal in measurement, and a pair of corresponding non-included sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

* RHS ( Right-angle-Hypotenuse-Side ): If two right-angled triangles have their hypotenuses equal in length, and a pair of shorter sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.

If two triangles satisfy the SSA condition and the length of the side opposite the angle is greater than or equal to the length of the adjacent side, then the two triangles are congruent.

If two triangles satisfy the SSA condition and the corresponding angles are acute and the length of the side opposite the angle is equal to the length of the adjacent side multiplied by the sine of the angle, then the two triangles are congruent.

If two triangles satisfy the SSA condition and the corresponding angles are acute and the length of the side opposite the angle is greater than the length of the adjacent side multiplied by the sine of the angle ( but less than the length of the adjacent side ), then the two triangles cannot be shown to be congruent.

If two angles of a triangle have measures equal to the measures of two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

If an altitude is drawn from the vertex with the right angle to the hypotenuse then the triangle is divided into two smaller triangles which are both similar to the original and therefore similar to each other.

If they are not the same, i. e. some are narrow triangles, while others maybe wide trapizoids or shouldered triangles, then the mass or area of the output function must be known or calculated.
