Cone :: Cone (n.) A solid of the form described by the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of the sides adjacent to the right angle; -- called also a right cone. More generally, any solid having a vertical point and bounded by a surface which is described by a straight line always passing through that vertical point; a solid having a circle for its base and tapering to a point or vertex..

Altitude :: Altitude (n.) The perpendicular distance from the base of a figure to the summit, or to the side parallel to the base; as, the altitude of a triangle, pyramid, parallelogram, frustum, etc..

Trinity :: Trinity (n.) Any symbol of the Trinity employed in Christian art, especially the triangle..

Circumcenter :: Circumcenter (n.) The center of a circle that circumscribes a triangle.

Octahedron :: Octahedron (n.) A solid bounded by eight faces. The regular octahedron is contained by eight equal equilateral triangles.

Converse :: Converse (n.) A proposition in which, after a conclusion from something supposed has been drawn, the order is inverted, making the conclusion the supposition or premises, what was first supposed becoming now the conclusion or inference. Thus, if two sides of a sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite the sides are equal; and the converse is true, i.e., if these angles are equal, the two sides are equal..

Sphenoid :: Sphenoid (n.) A wedge-shaped crystal bounded by four equal isosceles triangles. It is the hemihedral form of a square pyramid.

Self-conjugate :: Self-conjugate (a.) Having the two things that are conjugate parts of the same figure; as, self-conjugate triangles..

Incenter :: Incenter (n.) The center of the circle inscribed in a triangle.

Orthocenter :: Orthocenter (n.) That point in which the three perpendiculars let fall from the angles of a triangle upon the opposite sides, or the sides produced, mutually intersect..

Oblique-angled :: Oblique-angled (a.) Having oblique angles; as, an oblique-angled triangle..

Pyramid :: Pyramid (n.) The game of pool in which the balls are placed in the form of a triangle at spot.

Triquadrantal :: Triquadrantal (a.) Having three quadrants; thus, a triquadrantal triangle is one whose three sides are quadrants, and whose three angles are consequently right angles..

Triangled :: Triangled (a.) Having three angles; triangular.

Wing :: Wing (n.) That part of the hold or orlop of a vessel which is nearest the sides. In a fleet, one of the extremities when the ships are drawn up in line, or when forming the two sides of a triangle..

Birectangular :: Birectangular (a.) Containing or having two right angles; as, a birectangular spherical triangle..

Trilateral :: Trilateral (a.) Having three sides; being three-sided; as, a trilateral triangle..

Triangulation :: Triangulation (n.) The series or network of triangles into which the face of a country, or any portion of it, is divided in a trigonometrical survey; the operation of measuring the elements necessary to determine the triangles into which the country to be surveyed is supposed to be divided, and thus to fix the positions and distances of the several points connected by them..

Right-angled :: Right-angled (a.) Containing a right angle or right angles; as, a right-angled triangle..

Equivalent :: Equivalent (a.) Equal in measure but not admitting of superposition; -- applied to magnitudes; as, a square may be equivalent to a triangle..
