    The Bermuda Triangle, also known popularly as the ‘Devil’s Triangle’, is a triangular shaped area in the Atlantic Ocean which has gained infamy as a location in which vessels, aircraft and people are susceptible to going missing without a trace. The area considered to constitute the Bermuda Triangle varies, although the most popular definition is that the triangle’s three vertices are located at Miami in Florida, San Juan in Puerto Rico, and at the island of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. However

    Pascal’s Triangle is named after the seventeenth century mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal. However, several other mathematicians knew about and utilized the triangle before Pascal’s birth in 1623. In the twelfth century, both Persian and Chinese mathematicians were trying to create an arithmetical triangle that is easy to construct and that gives the coefficients of the expansion of the algebraic expression expression (a + b)n for different integer values of n. Pascal’s Triangle was first

    To identify a Special Right Triangle. The angle measure must be known first. If the given angle measure is 45°-45°-90° Special Right Triangle. Also if the given angle measure is a 30° or a 60°. Then the triangle is a 30°-60-°-90° Special Right Triangle In a 45°-45°-90° triangle. There are two legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is opposite the 90° angle. The legs are opposite the 45° angles. Since the two legs are of equal length. When given the length of one. The other leg always have

    Since the centroid of a triangle lies along each median, 2/3 of the distance from the vertex to the modpoint of the opposite side, we have: ■(t=2/3∙√3/2∙c=c/√3;@u=2/3∙√3/2∙b=b/√3.) And in this case (1) becomes (2): 〖3s〗^2=b^2+c^2-2∙b∙c∙cos(A+60°). Expanding the cosine of the sum, we have (3): cos(A+60°)=cos(A)/2-(√3∙sin(A))/2. Substituting (3) into (2) yields to (4): 〖3s〗^2=b^2+c^2-b∙c∙cos(A)+√3∙b∙c∙sin(A). Now we will apply the Law of Cosines to ∆ABC (5): a^2=b^2+c^2-2∙b∙c∙cos(A). And recall (6):

    The Greeks and the Egyptians used triangles as early as 3500 BCE. They used these triangles as rules of thumb. They could apply these rules to specific applications. For example, the Egyptians knew that the 3:4:5 ratio was a right triangle. They could derive this because for them to create a right triangle the Egyptian land surveyors used a rope divided into twelve equal parts, creating a triangle with three pieces on one side, four pieces on the second side, and five pieces on the last side. The

    here that I found my topic of the Bermuda Triangle. At first, I argued with myself over this topic, because it did not seem worth writing about; but after remembering one of my favorite childhood movies, I knew that this was the perfect topic. So like every other sane teenager who has to write an essay, I watched the Scooby-Doo movie that made me chose this topic. About half way into the movie I came up with my topic question. What is the Bermuda Triangle and its theories? What I Know
