Translations for triangular in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
Lupin shuddered. Had he made a mistake? Was the surmise which his intuition
had suggested to him and which was based upon a frail groundwork of slight
facts, was this surmise wrong?
His attention was caught by a detail: through the opening in the baron's
waistcoat he saw the point of the pin fixed in the tie and was thus able to
realize the unusual length of the pin. Moreover, the gold stem was triangular
and formed a sort of miniature dagger, very thin and very delicate, yet
formidable in an expert hand.

Lupin frissonna. S’était-il trompé ? L’hypothèse que son
intuition lui avait suggérée et qui reposait sur une base fragile de petits
faits, cette hypothèse était-elle fausse ? Un détail attira son
attention : par l’échancrure du gilet, il aperçut la pointe de
l’épingle fixée à la cravate du baron, et il constata ainsi la longueur
insolite de cette épingle. De plus, la tige d’or en était triangulaire, et
formait comme un menu poignard, très fin, très délicat, mais redoutable en
des mains expertes.
