Right-angled triangles #
This file proves basic geometrical results about distances and angles in (possibly degenerate) right-angled triangles in real inner product spaces and Euclidean affine spaces.
Implementation notes #
Results in this file are generally given in a form with only those non-degeneracy conditions needed for the particular result, rather than requiring affine independence of the points of a triangle unnecessarily.
