    Triangle and Its Properties

    Uploaded by

    anna
    The document discusses properties of triangles. It defines a triangle as a closed figure formed by joining three non-collinear points and having three sides and three angles. Triangles are classified based on angles into acute, right, and obtuse triangles and based on sides into equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Key properties discussed include the angle sum property (angles sum to 180 degrees), relationship between exterior and interior angles, constraints on side lengths, and the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles.

    THE TRIANGLE

    AND
    IT’S PROPERTIES
    We get a TRIANGLE by joining
    three non collinear points .
    What is a TRIANGLE ?
    • A closed figure formed by
    joining three line segments is
    called a TRIANGLE .
    A triangle has three sides
    A triangle has three angles
    TYPES OF TRIANGLES

    Two Ways

    • On the basis of angles


    • On the basis of sides
    On the basis of angles

    Three types

    • Acute angled triangle


    • Right angled triangle
    • Obtuse angled triangle
    Acute angled triangle

    • A triangle whose all the angles


    are acute is called an ACUTE
    ANGLED TRIANGLE .
    Right angled triangle

    • A triangle in which one of the


    angles is a right angle is called
    RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE.
    Obtuse angled triangle

    • A triangle in which one of the


    angles is obtuse angle is called
    OBTUSE ANGLED TRIANGLE .
    On the basis of sides

    Three types

    • Equilateral triangle
    • Isosceles triangle
    • Scalene triangle
    Equilateral triangle

    • A triangle whose all the sides


    are of equal length is called
    equilateral triangle.
    Isosceles triangle

    • A triangle in which any two


    sides are of equal measure is
    called an isosceles triangle.
    Scalene triangle

    • A triangle whose no two sides


    are of equal measure is called
    scalene triangle.
    Properties of Isosceles and
    Equilateral triangle
    • Properties of Isosceles Triangle.
    • Two sides are equal in length.
    • Base angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.

    • Properties of Equilateral Triangle


    • All three sides are equal in length.
    • Each angle equals to 600.
    Recap
    • A closed figure formed by joining
    three non collinear points is called ?
    • A triangle whose all the sides are of
    equal length is called ?
    • A triangle whose no two sides are of
    equal length is called ?
    • A triangle whose one angle is 90
    degree is called ?
    • A triangle whose all the angles are
    less than 90 degree is called ?
    Median of a Triangle

    •Median is the line that connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid-


    point of the opposite side.
    •In the given figure, AD is the median, joining the vertex A to
    the midpoint of BC.
    Altitude of a Triangle

    •An altitude is a line segment through a vertex of the triangle


    and perpendicular to a line containing the opposite side.
    Sides And Its Constraints
    Sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle

    The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater


    than the third side.

    In the given triangle,

    9+11=20 >14

    11+14=25 >9

    9+14=23 >11
    Difference between lengths of
    two sides of a triangle

    •The difference between lengths of any two sides is smaller than the length
    of the third side.

    •In the given triangle,


    11 – 9 = 2 < 14

    14 – 11 = 3 < 9

    14 – 9 = 5 < 11

    •Using the concept of sum of two sides and difference of two sides, it is


    possible to determine the range of lengths that the third side can take.
    Triangle Properties
    Angle sum property of a triangle
    •The total measure of the three angles of a triangle is 1800.

    •In △PQR,
    ∠RPQ+∠PQR+∠QRP
    =700 + 600 + 500 = 1800
    Exterior angle of a
    triangle and its property

    An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its


    interior opposite angles.

    •In the given figure, ∠1+∠2=∠3.


    Pythagoras Theorem
    •The side opposite to the right angle in a right-
    angled triangle is called the hypotenuse.
    •The other two sides are known as legs of the
    right-angled triangle.
    •In a right-angled triangle, square of hypotenuse is
    equal to the sum of squares of legs.

    •AC2=AB2+BC2
    ⇒52=42+32
    •If a triangle holds Pythagoras
    property, then it is a right-angled
    triangle.
