Fatness of triangle

Featured Replies

Fatness of triangle=A/P2

A/P2=1/(a+b+c)

We know that:

When angles of triangle are 60,60.60 degrees then a=b=c=12/(3)1/2

When triangle angles are 45,45,90 then a=2 b=2 c=2*21/2

When angles are 30,30,120 then a=14 b=14 c=16*31/2

Can we make any actions(the actions should be the same for any triangle) with triangle angles to define a,b,c ?

So far, so good, but you cannot put an absolute value for a b c .

Fatness of triangle=A/P2

A/P2=1/(a+b+c)

 

That doesn't see right. That would mean

 

A = P2 / (a+b+c)

 

Which, if P is the perimeter means:

A = (a+b+c)2 / (a+b+c)

A = (a+b+c)

Which is not right.

The assertion that

A/P2=1/(a+b+c)

can't be right by dimensional analysis.

Area has units of length squared, perimeter has units of length

So the LHS of the equation has no units (they cancel) but the RHS has units of reciprocal length.

 

If you want to call that unitless parameter "fatness" that's not a problem, but the rest of the post fails.

 

Defining the perimeter of a triangle doesn't tell you what the area is

Even if you fix one of the sides there are still generally infinitely many possible triangles with the same perimeter.

(the exception is that if you fix one side to be half the perimeter, then the area is zero, but that's hardly helpful)

Excuse me Strange. But a,b,c aren't sides of triangle. They should be just derivatives from angles like factorial or something else.

m2=m2 All is correct.

I do make for equilateral triangle.

Excuse me Strange. But a,b,c aren't sides of triangle. They should be just derivatives from angles like factorial or something else.

 

So what are they? What is a "derivatives from angle"? How does that relate to factorials (n * n-1 * n-2 *n-3 ...) or "something else" (whatever that is)?

IOW, you defined NONE of the terms in your OP. And you haven't even defined them here.

 

That's enough nonsense.
