 DEFINITION

• A TRIANGLE IS A 3 SIDED POLYGON

• EVERY TRIANGLE HAS THREE SIDES, THREE VERTICES AND THREE ANGLES
• ALL TRIANGLES ARE CONVEX AND BICENTRIC
 TYPES

• BASE ON SIDES
• EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE
• ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
• SCALENE TRIANGLE

• BASE ON ANGLES
• ACUTE ANGLED TRIANGLE
• OBTUSE ANGLED TRIANGLE
• RIGHT ANGLED TRAINGLE
 BASE ON SIDES

• EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE
• TRIANGLES HAVING ALL SIDES EQUAL

• ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
• TRIANGLES HAVING 2 SIDES ARE EQUAL

• SCALENE TRIANGLE
• NO SIDES ARE EQUAL
 BASE ON ANGLE

• ACUTE ANGLED TRIANGLE

• ALL ANGLES ARE ACUTE

• OBTUSE ANGLED TRIANGLE

• 1 ANGLE IS OBTUSE

• RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE

• 1 ANGLES IS RIGHT
 PROPERTIES

• SUMMATION OF ALL ANGLES IS EQUAL TO 180 DEGREES

• TO FIND THE MEASURE OF THE CENTRAL ANGLE OF AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, MAKE A
CIRCLE IN THE MIDDLE. A CIRCLE IS 360 DEGREES AROUND. DIVIDE THAT BY THREE ANGLES
• EQUILATERAL TRIANGLES- ALL SIDES ARE EQUAL AND ALL INTERIOR ANGLES ARE THE SAME
SIZE. TO FIND THE MEASURE OF THE INTERIOR ANGLES ARE, WE KNOW THAT THE SUM OF ALL
THE ANGLES IS 180 DEGREES. AND THERE ARE THREE ANGLES
 SECONDARY PARTS OF A TRIANGLE

• MEDIAN OF A TRIANGLE
• THE LINE SEGMENT JOINING THE MIDPOINT OF THE BASE OF THE TRIANGLE IS CALLED MEDIAN OF
THE TRIANGLE
• ALTITUDE OF A TRIANGLE
• LINE SEGMENT DRAWN FROM A VERTEX OF A TRIANGLE PERPENDICULAR TO ITS OPPOSITE SIDE
• PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR
• LINE THAT PASSES THROUGH MIDPOINT OF THE TRIANGLE OR THE LINE WHICH BISECTS THE THIRD
SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE AND IS PERPENDICULAR TO IT IS
• ANGLE BISECTOR
• LINE SEGMENT THAT BISECTS AN ANGLE OF A TRIANGLE
 CONGRUENCY

• SSS CRITERIA
• THREE SIDES OF ONE OF TRIANGLE ARE EQUAL TO THE THREE SIDES OF ANOTHER SIDES OF
ANOTHER TRIANGLE.
• SAS CRITERIA
• TWO SIDES AND THE ANGLE INCLUDED BETWEEN THEM IS EQUAL TO THE CORRESPONDING TWO
SIDES AND THE ANGLE BETWEEN THEM OF ANOTHER TRIANGLE.
• ASA CRITERIA
• TWO ANGLES AND A SIDE OF A TRIANGLE IS EQUAL TO THE CORRESPONDING TWO ANGLES AND
A SIDE OF THE ANOTHER TRIANGLE THEN THE TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT
 AREA

• ½ BASE MULTIPLIED BY THE HEIGHT

• HEIGHT
• BASE
