A polygon is a generalization of a 3-sided triangle, a 4-sided quadrilateral, and so on to n sides.

A triangle may be regarded as a quadrilateral with one side of length zero.

From this perspective, as d approaches zero, a cyclic quadrilateral converges into a cyclic triangle ( all triangles are cyclic ), and Brahmagupta's formula simplifies to Heron's formula.

If also, the cyclic quadrilateral becomes a triangle and the formula is reduced to Heron's formula.

If the diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral intersect at P, and the midpoints of the diagonals are M and N, then the anticenter of the quadrilateral is the orthocenter of triangle MNP.

The approximate area is the product of the halves of the sums of the sides and opposite sides of a triangle and a quadrilateral.

The two segments of the two diagonals are two sides in a triangle ; the base the quadrilateral is the base of the triangle.

Such a triangle has the same area as the quadrilateral and can be constructed from it by cutting and pasting.

An equidiagonal quadrilateral | equidiagonal kite ( geometry ) | kite that maximizes the ratio of perimeter to diameter, inscribed in a Reuleaux triangle

The four brightest stars form a quadrilateral, and another three, a triangle north of them.

Each quadrilateral visible in the image consists of a pair of hyperbolic triangles ; each triangle is a fundamental domain of the modular group.

Any three of the lines of the quadrilateral form the sides of a triangle ; the orthocenters of the four triangles formed in this way lie on a second line, perpendicular to the one through the midpoints.

" Make of a man and woman a circle ; then a quadrangle ; out of the this a triangle ; make again a circle, and you will have the Stone of the Wise.

Four points in the plane such that one of them is the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the other three are called an orthocentric system or orthocentric quadrangle.

Profile cutting machines are available which can split foam to any desired thickness and produce sine, triangle, trapezoid, and other profiles in variable heights, dimensions, etc..

This choice gives us two alternative forms of geometry in which the interior angles of a triangle add up to exactly 180 degrees or less, respectively, and are known as Euclidean and hyperbolic geometries.

Generalizations of Bézier curves to higher dimensions are called Bézier surfaces, of which the Bézier triangle is a special case.

Capricornus's brighter stars are found on a triangle whose vertices are α < sup > 2 </ sup > Capricorni ( Giedi ), δ Capricorni ( Deneb Algiedi ), and ω Capricorni.

For a curve of constant width such as the Reuleaux triangle, the width and diameter are the same because all such pairs of parallel tangent lines have the same distance.

Other more recent models are Phaeaco ( implemented by Harry Foundalis ) and SeqSee ( Abhijit Mahabal ), which model high-level perception and analogy-making in the microdomains of Bongard problems and number sequences, respectively, as well as George ( Francisco Lara-Dammer ), which models the processes of perception and discovery in triangle geometry.

If neither A nor B includes the idea of existence, then " some A are B " simply adjoins A to B. Conversely, if A or B do include the idea of existence in the way that " triangle " contains the idea " three angles equal to two right angles ", then " A exists " is automatically true, and we have an ontological proof of A's existence.

When a mathematician reasons from the statement " ABC is a triangle " to the statement " triangles exist ", she is not asserting that triangles are made up of atoms but rather that triangles exist within a particular mathematical model.

Actual deflation was prevented because supply shocks are not the only cause of inflation ; in terms of the modern triangle model of inflation, supply-driven deflation was counteracted by demand-pull inflation and built-in inflation resulting from adaptive expectations and the price / wage spiral.

Many results about plane figures are proved, e. g., If a triangle has two equal angles, then the sides subtended by the angles are equal.

Other figures, such as lines, triangles, or circles, are named by listing a sufficient number of points to pick them out unambiguously from the relevant figure, e. g., triangle ABC would typically be a triangle with vertices at points A, B, and C.

The celebrated Pythagorean theorem ( book I, proposition 47 ) states that in any right triangle, 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 whose sides are the two legs ( the two sides that meet at a right angle ).

Examples of this are " the victor in Jena " and " the loser in Waterloo ", or " the equilateral triangle " and " the equiangular triangle "; in both cases, both names express different meanings, but designate the same object.

These hierarchies are typically depicted with a tree or triangle diagram, creating an organizational chart or organigram.

Italy has a smaller number of global multinational corporations than other economies of comparable size, but there is a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, as in the Northern " industrial triangle " ( Milan-Turin-Genoa ), where there is an area of intense industrial and machinery production, notably in their several industrial districts, which are the backbone of the Italian industry.

Of the Johnson solids, the elongated square gyrobicupola ( J < sub > 37 </ sub >) is unique in being locally vertex-uniform: there are 4 faces at each vertex, and their arrangement is always the same: 3 squares and 1 triangle.

Although Escher did not have mathematical training — his understanding of mathematics was largely visual and intuitive — Escher's work had a strong mathematical component, and more than a few of the worlds which he drew are built around impossible objects such as the Necker cube and the Penrose triangle.

Nijmegen is one of the warmest cities of the Netherlands, especially during summer, when the highest temperatures in the country are usually measured in the triangle Roermond – Nijmegen – Eindhoven.

These are also referred to as the " project management triangle ", where each side represents a constraint.

A triangle is non-degenerate if each edge has positive length, so it may be assumed that a and b are greater than 0.

Boniface had to uphold the sacredness of the feudal contract at all costs, for it was only as suzerain of Sicily and of the Patrimony of Peter that he had any justification for his Italian wars, but in the English-Scottish-French triangle it was almost impossible for him to recognize the claims of any one of the contestants without seeming to invalidate those of the other two.

Though, taken individually, the big rooms were, or seemed to be, square, the apartment as a whole formed a triangle.

could piece, as it were, the jumbled mass together into an organized whole and then recognize it as a man or a triangle or whatever it turned out to be.

An American in Paris is scored for 3 flutes ( 3rd doubling on piccolo ), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets in B flat, bass clarinet in B flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in F, 3 trumpets in B flat, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, triangle, wood block, cymbals, low and high tom-toms, xylophone, glockenspiel, celesta, 4 taxi horns resembling the pitches A, B, C and D, alto saxophone / soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone / soprano saxophone / alto saxophone, baritone saxophone / soprano saxophone / alto saxophone, and strings.

In the archaic pediments and friezes of the temples, the artists had a problem to fit a group of figures into an isosceles triangle with acute angles at the base.

The triangle in the glass tube contains the first sample of americium ( as the hydroxide ), produced in 1944.

If one also removes the second postulate (" a line can be extended indefinitely ") then elliptic geometry arises, where there is no parallel through a point outside a line, and in which the interior angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees.

There, a small peninsular area is still called " Angeln " today and is formed as a triangle drawn roughly from modern Flensburg on the Flensburger Fjord to the City of Schleswig and then to Maasholm, on the Schlei inlet.

The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's " Fighting 69th " Infantry Regiment ; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan.

* In a diode, it is the positive terminal at the tail of the arrow symbol ( base of the triangle ), where current flows into the device.

* Temple of Aphaea, dedicated to its namesake, a goddess who was later associated with Athena ; the temple was part of a pre-Christian, equilateral holy triangle of temples including the Athenian Parthenon and the temple of Poseidon at Sounion.

In reality, this " triangle arbitrage " is so simple that it almost never occurs.

Such upright bicycles almost always feature the diamond frame, a truss consisting of two triangles: the front triangle and the rear triangle.

The front triangle consists of the head tube, top tube, down tube and seat tube.

The rear triangle consists of the seat tube and paired chain stays and seat stays.

In this year, he also wrote an important treatise on the arithmetical triangle.

Pascal's triangle.

The triangle demonstrates many mathematical properties in addition to showing binomial coefficients.

His Traité du triangle arithmétique (" Treatise on the Arithmetical Triangle ") of 1653 described a convenient tabular presentation for binomial coefficients, now called Pascal's triangle.
