The Bermuda Triangle, located between Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, has seen many mysterious disappearances of ships and planes since 1950. Despite scientific explanations, the mystery remains unsolved, and the area remains a concern for those who pass through it. The Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, is the name given to an area of water […]
The Dragon’s Triangle, like the Bermuda Triangle, has magnetic anomalies and has been associated with the disappearance of seagoing vessels, aircraft, and ghost ships. It is located in the Pacific Ocean and has deep trenches, volcanic areas, and ever-changing landmasses. Theories range from natural environmental changes to supernatural explanations, but the mystery remains unsolved. The […]
A Barmuda Triangle is an area with a high concentration of bars, often found in college towns or along roads. It can lead to high rates of DUIs and drinking-related accidents. Bar owners benefit from central locations but must offer entertainment and low prices. Some communities attempt to reduce the number of bars to improve […]
The fire triangle consists of heat, fuel, and an oxidizer. Fuel is the starting point, and without it, there is no substance to burn. To extinguish a fire, at least one element must be removed. Fire extinguishers deprive the fire of oxygen by suffocating it with monoammonium phosphate. The fire triangle is an illustrative model […]

An OpenGL triangle is the basic shape used to create larger objects in 3D graphics. It consists of three vertices and is faster to render than other polygons. Triangular stripes and meshes can be used to create complex shapes, while triangular fans can create cones and pyramids. An OpenGL® triangle is the most basic shape […]
Floyd’s triangle is a right triangle of numbers used to teach computer programming. It requires mastery of loops and integer mathematics. It also defines triangular numbers and the lazy restaurateur sequence, and is often taught with Pascal’s triangle. Floyd’s triangle is a series of numbers distributed sequentially across a series of lines. It is used […]
Triangles are flat figures with three sides and angles that add up to 180 degrees. They can be classified by side length or angle measurement. Equilateral triangles have equal sides and angles, isosceles triangles have two equal sides and angles, and scalene triangles have unequal sides and angles. Acute triangles have all acute angles, right […]
Pascal’s triangle is a triangular array of numbers with interesting mathematical relationships. It can be constructed by adding two adjacent numbers together. Pascal organized his investigations into a treatise, and it has relationships with other mathematical concepts. It can be used to calculate melds and has practical applications in statistics and probability. Pascal’s triangle is […]
The triangular trade was a system of Atlantic trade routes from the 17th to the early 19th century, involving the transportation of African slaves, manufactured goods, and cash crops between West Africa, North America, and Europe. Enslaved Africans were an essential part of the economy of the American continent and the Caribbean, where they grew […]
The Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire in 1911 claimed 146 lives and led to major reforms in fire safety, factory procedures, and unionization of garment workers. The factory owners resisted unionization efforts and the fire highlighted the dangerous working conditions in garment factories. The fire started in a bin of textile clippings and most of the […]
The Polynesian Triangle is a group of over 1000 islands in the Pacific Ocean, with seven primary cultures and a language subgroup of Malayo-Polynesian languages. Colonization began around 1600-1200 BC and was completed by AD 1000, with the Lapita culture spreading eastward. The outrigger canoe enabled long-distance travel between islands. Today, New Zealand and Hawaii […]
The Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia is known for its opium production, which has led to drug trafficking, violence, and the conversion of farmland into opium fields. Opium poppies originated in the region, but it wasn’t until the Opium Wars of the 1800s that opium became widely used as a recreational drug. The wars led […]
The reference triangle is a model for explaining how words convey meaning, proposed by Ogden and Richards in their book The Meaning of Meaning. It consists of three parts: symbol, thought or reference, and referent. However, it has limitations and does not account for variations in people’s ideas about a word. Later work in semiotics, […]
The Parkside triangle is a mathematical model that generates a triangle of numbers given two variables, size and seed. The program can be used to present the fundamentals of loop logic. The Parkside triangle is a mathematical model that generates a triangle of numbers given two variables, size and seed. The dimension variable, N, must […]
The rhetorical triangle, developed by Aristotle, uses logos, ethos, and pathos to appeal to an audience. Logos appeals to reason, ethos to credibility, and pathos to emotion. Students can apply it in their writing by using credible evidence, engaging examples, and demonstrating qualifications. The rhetorical triangle represents a style of speaking and writing designed to […]
