The Triangle Formation in Mt. Banahaw

This is the map of Mt. Banahaw.  Let's have some fun by relating this to trigonometry and finding a triangle formation in Mt. Banahaw. 

Before:

Santos Kalbaryo forms an isosceles triangle with Ina ng Awa. This means that a = b. But more specifically, it is a 45-45-90 Triangle. Since it is a right triangle (triangle with a right angle), we now also know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
