Triangle and Its Properties by Pradhyumn

This document discusses properties of triangles. It defines a triangle as a closed figure with three line segments and three angles. It describes the different types of triangles based on side lengths (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and angle measures (acute, right, obtuse). Key properties of triangles discussed include medians, altitudes, centroids, exterior angles, angle sum, triangle inequality, and Pythagorean theorem.

TRIANGLE
o A triangle is a simple closed figure made up of three
line segments.
o It has three sides ,three angles and three vertices.

TYPES OF TRIANGLES ON
THE BASIS OF SIDE
o EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE - Triangle having all the sides of
equal length is called EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE

o ISOSCELES TRIANGLE – Triangle having two sides of


equal length is called ISOSCELES TRIANGLE .

o SCALENE TRIANGLE – Triangle having all the sides of


unequal length is called SCALENE TRIANGLE .
TYPES OF TRIANGLES ON
THE BASIS OF ANGLES
o ACUTE-ANGLED TRIANGLE - The triangle having all three
angles of acute angle it is called ACUTE-ANGLED TRIANGLE.

o RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLE – The triangle having one angle of


right angle it is called RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLE.

o OBTUSE-ANGLED TRIANGLE – The triangle having one angle of


obtuse angle it is called OBTUSE-ANGLED TRIANGLE.
MEDIANS OF A TRIANGLE
o The line segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the
midpoint of the opposite side is called a median of a
triangle.

CENTROID OF A TRIANGLE
o The point where all three medians of triangle meet is
called centroid of a triangle.
ALTITUDES OF A TRIANGLE
o The Perpendicular line segment from a vertex of a triangle to
the opposite side is called altitude the triangle.

ORTHOCENTRE OF A TRIANGLE
o The point where the all three altitudes of triangle meet is
called orthocentre of triangle.
PROPERTIES OF A TRIANGLE
EXTERIOR ANGLES OF TRIANGLE
o An exterior angle + adjacent interior = 180

o An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to


sum of its two interior opposite angles.
ANGLE SUM PROPERTY OF TRIANGLE
o The sum of the measure of the three angles of a triangle is 180° .

TRIANGLE INEQUALITY PROPERTY

o The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle is greater than the
length of the third side.
PROPERTIES OF EQUILATERAL
AND ISOSCELES TRIANGLES
IN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE
o All the sides are of same length.
o All the three angles are of same measure.

IN AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE
o Two sides have the same length.
o Angles opposite to the equal sides are of equal measures.
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
o The side opposite to the right angle is called hypotenuse. The other
sides are called the legs.

o In a right angled triangle the square of the length of the hypotenuse


is equal to the sum of the squares of lengths of the two legs.

o Hypotenuse² = base² + perpendicular² or A² + B² = C²
