TRIANGLES
A triangle is a 3-sided polygon. Every triangle has three
sides, three vertices and three angles. On the basis of sides
of a triangle, triangles are of three types, An Equilateral
Triangle, An Isosceles Triangle and A Scalene Triangle. All
triangles are convex and bicentric. That portion of the plane
enclosed by the triangle is called the triangle interior, while
the remainder is the exterior.
The study of triangles is sometimes known as triangle
geometry and is a rich area of geometry filled with
beautiful results and unexpected connections.

TRIANGLES
TYPES OF TRIANGLES
On Basis of Length of Sides, there are 3 types of Triangles
• Equilateral Triangle
• Isosceles Triangle
• Scalene Triangle
ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
Triangles having 2 sides equal are called Isosceles
Triangle.
SCALENE TRIANGLE
Triangles having no sides equal are called Scalene
Triangle.
ACUTE ANGLED TRIANGLE
Triangles whose all angles are acute angle are
called Acute Angled Triangle.

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.

MEDIAN
ALTITUDE OF A TRIANGLE
The Line Segment drawn from a Vertex of a Triangle
perpendicular to its opposite side is called an
Altitude or Height of a Triangle.
ALTITUDE
PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR
A 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
called the Perpendicular Bisector of that
Triangle.

BISECTOR
ANGLE BISECTOR
A line segment that bisects an angle of a
triangle is called Angle Bisector of the triangle.

CONGRUENCY
OF
A
TRIANGLE
SSS CRITERIA OF CONGRUENCY
AREA =
S = Semi-Perimeter
a,b,c are sides of the Triangle
FORMULA FOR ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
Area of an Isosceles Triangle
=
b = base
a = length of equal sides
FORMULA FOR RIGHT ANGLED
TRIANGLE
½ x base x height
