Dreiecksgeometrie

Dreiecksgeometrie, also known as triangle geometry, is a fundamental branch of Euclidean geometry that focuses on the study of triangles. It deals with the properties of triangles, including their sides, angles, and the relationships between them. Key concepts within dreiecksgeometrie include congruence, similarity, and various special points and lines associated with triangles.

Congruence refers to triangles that have identical size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal. Similarity, on the other hand, describes triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are proportional.

Special points within a triangle include the centroid, which is the intersection of the medians; the orthocenter, the intersection of the altitudes; the circumcenter, the center of the circumscribed circle and the intersection of perpendicular bisectors; and the incenter, the center of the inscribed circle and the intersection of angle bisectors. The lines connecting these points and vertices or midpoints, such as medians, altitudes, and angle bisectors, are also central to the study.

Theorems like the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the sides of a right-angled triangle, and the sine rule and cosine rule, which establish relationships between sides and angles in any triangle, are cornerstones of dreiecksgeometrie. This field provides the basis for many other areas of mathematics and has practical applications in fields such as surveying, navigation, and engineering.
