A triangle is a polygon with three sides and vertices, categorized into types such as equilateral, isosceles, scalene, right, obtuse, and acute. Key properties include the sum of angles being 180 degrees and the relationship between side lengths. Triangles have applications in geometry, physics, engineering, and computer graphics, and are used in real-world structures like roofs, bridges, and camera tripods.

Here are some notes on Triangles:

What is a Triangle?
A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three vertices (corners).
Types of Triangles
Equilateral Triangle: A triangle with all sides equal in length.
Isosceles Triangle: A triangle with two sides equal in length.
Scalene Triangle: A triangle with all sides of different lengths.
Right Triangle: A triangle with one right angle (90 degrees).
Obtuse Triangle: A triangle with one obtuse angle (greater than 90 degrees).
Acute Triangle: A triangle with all angles acute (less than 90 degrees).
Properties of Triangles
Sum of Angles: The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Sum of Sides: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always
greater than the length of the third side.
Altitude: The altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from a vertex to
the opposite side.
Theorems and Formulas
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (for right triangles)
Heron's Formula: Area = v(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) (for all triangles)
Law of Cosines: c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab * cos(C) (for all triangles)
Applications of Triangles
Geometry and Trigonometry: Triangles are used to solve problems in geometry and
trigonometry.
Physics and Engineering: Triangles are used to model and solve problems in physics
and engineering, such as force vectors and stability.
Computer Graphics: Triangles are used to render 3D graphics and models.
Real-World Examples of Triangles
Roofs and Bridges: Triangles are used in the design of roofs and bridges to provide
stability and support.
Toboggans and Sleds: Triangles are used in the design of toboggans and sleds to
provide stability and speed.
Camera Tripods: Triangles are used in the design of camera tripods to provide
stability and support.
