👉 In geometry, a "tripointed" object is an object that has three distinct points of contact with two or more other objects. Tripointed objects can be thought of as being connected by lines and planes, but without any edges or vertices.
For example, consider the following figure:
A triangle with vertices at (0, 0), (1, 0), and (2, 0)
An equilateral triangle with sides of length 3 units
