# Oblique Triangle (Acute and Obtuse)

Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on . Posted in Plane Geometry

• Oblique triangle (a two-dimensional figure) is tilted at an angle, not horizontal or vertical.
• Acute oblique triangle (a two-dimensional figure) has all three angles less than 90°.
• Circumcircle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
• Inscribed circle is the largest circle possible that can fit on the inside of a two-dimensional figure.
• Obtuse oblique triangle (a two-dimensional figure) has one of the three angles more than 90°.
• Semiperimeter is one half of the perimeter.
• x + y + z = 180°
• Height:  $$h_a$$,  $$h_b$$,  $$h_c$$
• Median:  $$m_a$$,  $$m_b$$,  $$m_c$$  -  A line segment from a vertex (corner point) to the midpoint of the opposite side
• Angle bisectors:  $$t_a$$,  $$t_b$$,  $$t_c$$  -  A line that splits an angle into two equal angles
• 3 edges
• 3 vertexs
