chapter outline
In geometry, a triangle is a plane figure that is enclosed by three line segments.
The sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
The difference between any two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles. This is called the exterior angle property of the triangle
Area of a Triangle
It is the total space enclosed by the triangle. The formula is given below:
Problem: Finding the area of a triangle when the BASE and HEIGHT are known
Find the area of a triangle whose base is 6 cm and height is 4 cm?
As we know, A = ½ ( b × h ) = ½ (6 × 4) cm = 12 cm 2
Problem: Finding the area of a triangle when only SIDES are known
Find the area of a triangle whose three sides are 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm.
Here we will use the Heron’s formula, A = √ s ( s – a )( s – b )( s – c ) , where s = ½ ( a + b + c ) In this triangle, s = ½ (3 cm + 4 cm+ 5 cm) = 6 cm Since, A = √ s ( s – a )( s – b )( s – c ) = √6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5) = √36 = 6 cm 2
Perimeter of a Triangle
It is the distance covered around the edges of a triangle or simply the length of the boundary covered. The formula is given below:
Find the perimeter of a triangle whose three sides are 4 cm, 6 cm, and 8 cm
As we know, P = a + b + c , where a, b, c are the measure of three sides = 4 cm + 6 cm + 8 cm = 18 cm
Triangles are classified into two groups: based on sides , 1) scalene , 2) isosceles , and 3) equilateral triangles ; based on angles , 1) acute angle , 2) obtuse angle , and 3) right or right-angled triangles .
The differences between the types are given below:
Apart from the above three types, there is Equiangular Triangle with all three internal angles equal to 60° and, thus having all sides equal, similar to an Equilateral Triangle
