\section{Triangles}

\subsection{Definition of triangles \tkzcname{tkzDefTriangle}}
The following macros will allow you to define or construct a triangle from \tkzname{at least} two points.

 At the moment, it is possible to define the following triangles:
 \begin{itemize}
\item  \tkzname{two angles}  determines a triangle with two angles;
\item  \tkzname{equilateral}  determines an equilateral triangle;
\item  \tkzname{isosceles right}  determines an isoxsceles right triangle;
\item \tkzname{half} determines a right-angled triangle such that the ratio of the measurements of the two adjacent sides to the right angle is equal to $2$;
\item \tkzname{pythagore} determines a right-angled triangle whose side measurements are proportional to 3, 4 and 5;
\item \tkzname{school} determines a right-angled triangle whose angles are 30, 60 and 90 degrees;
\item \tkzname{golden} determines a right-angled triangle such that the ratio of the measurements on the two adjacent sides to the right angle is equal to $\Phi=1.618034$, I chose "golden triangle" as the denomination because it comes from the golden rectangle and I kept the denomination "gold triangle" or "Euclid's triangle" for the isosceles triangle whose angles at the base are 72 degrees;

\item  \tkzname{euclid} or \tkzname{gold} for the gold triangle; in the previous version the option was "euclide" with an "e".

\item \tkzname{cheops} determines a third point such that the triangle is isosceles with side measurements proportional to $2$, $\Phi$ and $\Phi$.
\end{itemize}

\begin{NewMacroBox}{tkzDefTriangle}{\oarg{local options}\parg{A,B}}%
The points are ordered because the triangle is constructed following the direct direction of the trigonometric circle. This macro is either used in partnership with \tkzcname{tkzGetPoint} or by using \tkzname{tkzPointResult} if it is not necessary to keep the name.

\section{Specific triangles with \tkzcname{tkzDefSpcTriangle}}

The centers of some triangles have been defined in the "points" section, here it is a question of determining the three vertices of specific triangles.

\begin{NewMacroBox}{tkzDefSpcTriangle}{\oarg{local options}\parg{p1,p2,p3}\marg{r1,r2,r3}}
The order of the points is important! p1p2p3 defines a triangle then the result is a triangle whose vertices have as reference a combination with \tkzname{name} and r1,r2, r3. If \tkzname{name} is empty then the references are  r1,r2 and r3.


\medskip
\begin{tabular}{lll}%

\midrule
\end{tabular}

\end{NewMacroBox}

\subsection{How to name the vertices}

With \tkzcname{tkzDefSpcTriangle[medial,name=M](A,B,C)\{\_A,\_B,\_C\}} you get three vertices named $M_A$, $M_B$ and $M_C$.

With \tkzcname{tkzDefSpcTriangle[medial](A,B,C)\{a,b,c\}} you get three vertices named and labeled $a$, $b$ and $c$.

Possible \tkzcname{tkzDefSpcTriangle[medial,name=M\_](A,B,C)\{A,B,C\}} you get three vertices named $M_A$, $M_B$ and $M_C$.

\subsection{Option \tkzname{medial} or \tkzname{centroid} }
The geometric centroid  of the polygon vertices of a triangle is the point $G$ (sometimes also denoted $M$) which is also the intersection of the triangle's three triangle medians. The point is therefore sometimes called the median point. The centroid is always in the interior of the triangle.

In the following example, we obtain the Euler circle which passes through the previously defined points.

\end{tkzexample}

\subsection{Option \tkzname{in} or \tkzname{incentral} }

The incentral triangle is the triangle whose vertices are determined by
the intersections of the reference triangle’s angle bisectors with the
respective opposite sides.

\href{http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ExtouchTriangle.html}{Weisstein, Eric W. "Extouch triangle" From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource.}

We obtain the points of contact of the exinscribed circles as well as the triangle formed by the centres of the exinscribed circles.

\subsection{Option \tkzname{orthic}}

Given a triangle $ABC$, the triangle $H_AH_BH_C$ whose vertices are endpoints of the altitudes from each of the vertices of ABC is called the orthic triangle, or sometimes the altitude triangle. The three lines $AH_A$, $BH_B$, and $CH_C$ are concurrent at the orthocenter H of ABC.
