In Euclidean geometry, the medial triangle or midpoint triangle of a triangle △ABC is the triangle with vertices at the midpoints of the triangle's sides AB, AC, BC. It is the n = 3 case of the midpoint polygon of a polygon with n sides. The medial triangle is not the same thing as the median triangle, which is the triangle whose sides have the same lengths as the medians of △ABC.
Each side of the medial triangle is called a midsegment (or midline). In general, a midsegment of a triangle is a line segment which joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. It is parallel to the third side and has a length equal to half the length of the third side.
The medial triangle can also be viewed as the image of triangle △ABC transformed by a homothety centered at the centroid with ratio -1/2. Thus, the sides of the medial triangle are half and parallel to the corresponding sides of triangle ABC. Hence, the medial triangle is inversely similar and shares the same centroid and medians with triangle △ABC. It also follows from this that the perimeter of the medial triangle equals the semiperimeter of triangle △ABC, and that the area is one quarter of the area of triangle △ABC. Furthermore, the four triangles that the original triangle is subdivided into by the medial triangle are all mutually congruent by SSS, so their areas are equal and thus the area of each is 1/4 the area of the original triangle.
The orthocenter of the medial triangle coincides with the circumcenter of triangle △ABC. This fact provides a tool for proving collinearity of the circumcenter, centroid and orthocenter. The medial triangle is the pedal triangle of the circumcenter. The nine-point circle circumscribes the medial triangle, and so the nine-point center is the circumcenter of the medial triangle.
The Nagel point of the medial triangle is the incenter of its reference triangle.
A reference triangle's medial triangle is congruent to the triangle whose vertices are the midpoints between the reference triangle's orthocenter and its vertices.

In geometry, a pedal triangle is obtained by projecting a point onto the sides of a triangle. More specifically, consider a triangle ABC, and a point P that is not one of the vertices A, B, C. Drop perpendiculars from P to the three sides of the triangle (these may need to be produced, i.e., extended). Label L, M, N the intersections of the lines from P with the sides BC, AC, AB. The pedal triangle is then LMN. If ABC is not an obtuse triangle, P is the orthocenter then the angles of LMN are 180°−2A, 180°−2B and 180°−2C.
En géométrie, les coordonnées trilinéaires d'un point relativement à un triangle donné, notées (x : y : z) sont, à une constante multiplicative strictement positive près, les distances algébriques relativement aux côtés (étendus) du triangle. Pour un triangle ABC, le rapport x / y est le rapport des distances algébriques du point aux côtés (BC) et (AC) respectivement et ainsi de suite par permutation sur A, B, C.
In geometry, the semiperimeter of a polygon is half its perimeter. Although it has such a simple derivation from the perimeter, the semiperimeter appears frequently enough in formulas for triangles and other figures that it is given a separate name. When the semiperimeter occurs as part of a formula, it is typically denoted by the letter s.
