In Euclidean geometry , a heptagonal triangle is an obtuse , scalene triangle whose vertices coincide with the first, second, and fourth vertices of a regular heptagon (from an arbitrary starting vertex). Thus its sides coincide with one side and the adjacent shorter and longer diagonals of the regular heptagon. All heptagonal triangles are similar (have the same shape), and so they are collectively known as the heptagonal triangle. Its angles have measures
π
/
7
,
2
π
/
7
,
{\displaystyle \pi /7,2\pi /7,}
and
4
π
/
7
,
{\displaystyle 4\pi /7,}
and it is the only triangle with angles in the ratios 1:2:4. The heptagonal triangle has various remarkable properties.
Shorter diagonals
Each of the fourteen congruent heptagonal triangles has one green side, one blue side, and one red side.
Relations of distances
edit
The heptagonal triangle's sides a < b < c coincide respectively with the regular heptagon's side, shorter diagonal, and longer diagonal. They satisfy[ 3] : Lemma 1

However, no algebraic expressions with purely real terms exist for the solutions of this equation, because it is an example of casus irreducibilis .
The approximate relation of the sides is

The exradius r a corresponding to side a equals the radius of the nine-point circle of the heptagonal triangle.[ 2] : p. 15
The heptagonal triangle's orthic triangle , with vertices at the feet of the altitudes , is similar to the heptagonal triangle, with similarity ratio 1:2. The heptagonal triangle is the only obtuse triangle that is similar to its orthic triangle (the equilateral triangle being the only acute one).[ 2] : pp. 12–13
