ABC

All regular triangles are regular polygonsMathworldPlanetmath. Also, by the isosceles triangle theorem, the bisectorMathworldPlanetmath of any angle coincides with the height, the median and the perpendicular bisector of the opposite side.

The following statements hold in Euclidean geometryMathworldPlanetmath for a regular triangle.

  • If r is the length of the side, then the height is equal to r32.

  • If r is the length of the side, then the area is equal to r234.
