Triangle

Objectives

a. define a triangle
b. classify triangles according to sides on the basis of angles
c. draw at least five things structures that looks like triangles in your house

Discussion

A triangle is one of the basic closed shapes of geometry. A triangle has three sides or edges and three
angles.

Triangles can be classified in three ways based on sides and angles.

Sum of angles if a triangle is 180 degrees

A triangle is a closed geometric figure formed by three lines, which intersect each other and which are
not concurrent.

1.      Acute-Angled Triangle: A triangle each of whose angle is acute(Less than 90 0)

2.      Right-Angled Triangle: A Triangle one of whose angles is a right angle (equal to 90 0)


3.      Obtuse-Angled Triangle: A triangle with one of its angles as an obtuse angle (greater than
900  but less than 1800)

 Classification of triangles on the basis of Sides:

a)      Scalene: A triangle, whose any two sides are equal.

b)      Isosceles Triangle: A triangle, any two of whose sides are equal.

c)      Equilateral Triangle: A triangle, all of whose sides are equal. 

All triangles have three sides and three angles. Triangles are classified as right, equilateral, isosceles, or
scalene by the measures of their sides and angles. Two triangles are similar when their corresponding
sides are in proportion to each other. Similar triangles always have equal corresponding angles. Similar
triangles have the same shape, but they are not necessarily the same size.
