Equilateral Triangle
In the following we write for the square root of a number the expression "sqrt(ZAHL)"
conforming to the syntax used in POV-Ray.
Note: To avoid any collision with built-in identifiers and reserved words in POV-Ray,
it's strongly recommanded to use only words beginning with capital letters
for all identifiers of variables declared by the user, i.e. use "Ri" instead of "r"
and use "H" instead of "h".

Dimensions
Length of triangle base side: a.
All internal angles: 60° |
The height
of an equilateral triangle:
h = 1/2 * sqrt(3) * a ; or
h = sin (radians(60)) * a ;
The height of the incenter O or
the incircle radius
of an equilateral triangle:
r = 1/6 * sqrt(3) * a ;
The radius of circumcircle
of an equilateral triangle:
R = 1/3 * sqrt(3) * a ;
