Hyphenation of triangulation

How to hyphenate triangulation

triangulation is a polysyllabic word with 5 syllables. Using the Knuth-Liang algorithm, we calculated the hyphenation for the word you’ve entered. However, this hyphenation has not been verified against authoritative sources and may be approximate. This is because the algorithm relies on pre-defined patterns that may not cover all exceptions, contextual variations, or irregular spellings. We are working to verify hyphenations against trusted sources to ensure greater accuracy. For now, triangulation is hyphenated as:

tri-an-gu-la-tion
Syllables Count
5
Characters Count
13
Alpha-numeric Characters Count
13
Hyphens Count
4
Hyphenation performed using the Knuth-Liang word-division algorithm. This result is approximate and has not been verified against authoritative sources.

Definitions of triangulation

triangulation is defined as:

Definition 1 as noun

  • noun
    A technique in which distances and directions are estimated from an accurately measured baseline and the principles of trigonometry; an instance of the use of this technique.
  • noun
    The network of triangles so obtained, that are the basis of a chart or map.
  • noun
    A delaying move in which the king moves in a triangular path to force the advance of a pawn.
  • noun
    A subdivision of a planar object into triangles, and by extension the subdivision of a higher-dimension geometric object into simplices.
  • noun
    A process by which an unknown location is found using three known distances from known locations.
  • noun

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.

This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.

With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
