The following statements hold in Euclidean geometry for an equilateral triangle.
\begin{itemize}
\item
It is a regular polygon.
\item
The triangle is determined by specifying one side.
\item
The bisector of any angle coincides with the height, the median and the perpendicular bisector of the \PMlinkescapetext{opposite side}.
\item
If $r$ is the length of the side, then the height is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{r\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
\item
If $r$ is the length of the side, then the area is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{r^2\sqrt{3}}{4}$.
\end{itemize} |
