• Key takeaway
Triangle
• The word comes from an old Latin word"triangulu
m"which m three cornered.
• Triagle is a simple closed curve or polygons which is
created by three line-segments in geometry,any thr
ee points specially non collinear,form a unique trian
gle and separately a unique plane(known as two di
mensional Euclidean Space).
The 3 basic E
lements of a
Triangle
1. Angles
2. Sides
3. Vertices
Classifications of a Triang
le
1. Acute Triagle
2. Right Triangle
3. Obtuse Triangle
4. Scalene Triagle
5. Equilateral Triagle
6. Isosceles Triangle
Acute Triangl
e
This triangle in which each of th
e angles is a cute and measure i
s less than 90°
RIGHT TRIANGL
E
It is a form of a Triangle where in
one particular angle is a right tria
ngle
Obtuse Triang
le
Triangle in which one of the angl
e stays obtuse
Scalene Triag
le
Meaning that every side length in
a triangle is different.
Equilateral T
riagle
Means that every side length in a
triangle is similar.
Isosceles Tri
angle
Means at least two of the triangl
e sides lengths are similar.
The important properties
of a Triangle
• We know that the sum of the measures of the thre
e angles of a triangle is always 180°.Also the sum of
the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always g
reater than the length of the third side of the triagl
[Link] the same way the difference between the lengt
h of any two sides of a triangle is less than the lengt
h of the third side of the triagle.
Important Properties of a T
riangle
• So here in this triangle ,then AE ist the median also
by taking the midpoint of AB as D,we join CD so CD i
s also a median,and as midpoint AC is F ,we take FB
as the [Link] these are the three median of a tr
[Link] three medians of the triagle are concurre
nt and their point of concurrence is called the centr
oid of the triangle
Important properties of a t
riangle
• The altitude has one end point at a vertex of the tri
agle and other on the line containing the opposite s
[Link] altitude of the triangle are concurrent and t
heir point of concurrence is called the orthocentre
of the triangle.
• Area of the triangle is calculated by the ,
• Formula:
• Area =1/2 x base x height.
Summary
• The sum of all interior angles of any triangle is equa
l to 180°
• The sum of all exterior angles of any triagle is 360°
• An exterior angles of a triangle is equal to the sum
of it's two interior opposite angles.
• The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangl
e is always greater than the length of the third side.
• Similarly the difference between the lengths of any
two sides of a triangle is always less than the length
of the third side.
• The side opposite to the smallest interior angles is t
he shortest side and vice versa.
• Similarly the side opposite to the largest interior an
gle is the longest side and vice versa.
• In this case of a right-angle triagle this side is called
hypotenuse.
• The length of a triangle is equal to the length of the p
erpendicular dropped from a vertex to its opposite si
de and this side is considered the base.
