Triangulate :: Triangulate (v. t.) To divide into triangles; specifically, to survey by means of a series of triangles properly laid down and measured..

Coincide :: Coincide (n.) To occupy the same place in space, as two equal triangles, when placed one on the other..

Side :: Side (n.) The margin, edge, verge, or border of a surface; especially (when the thing spoken of is somewhat oblong in shape), one of the longer edges as distinguished from the shorter edges, called ends; a bounding line of a geometrical figure; as, the side of a field, of a square or triangle, of a river, of a road, etc..

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

Base :: Base (n.) A line in a survey which, being accurately determined in length and position, serves as the origin from which to compute the distances and positions of any points or objects connected with it by a system of triangles..

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

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

Revolution :: Revolution (n.) The motion of a point, line, or surface about a point or line as its center or axis, in such a manner that a moving point generates a curve, a moving line a surface (called a surface of revolution), and a moving surface a solid (called a solid of revolution); as, the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of its sides generates a cone; the revolution of a semicircle about the diameter generates a sphere..

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.
