Overview

In this chapter, we explore one of the most fundamental shapes in geometry — the triangle. A triangle is a simple closed figure made up of three line segments. It has three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Triangles are not only important in mathematics but also appear in real-life structure

Key Concepts

A triangle is a closed shape

A triangle is a closed shape formed by three line segments. It has three sides (e.g., AB, BC, CA), three vertices (A, B, C), and three interior angles

Triangles can be classified based on

Triangles can be classified based on their angles: (1) Acute-angled triangle — all angles less than 90°, (2) Right-angled triangle — one angle is exac

Triangles can also be classified by

Triangles can also be classified by their sides: (1) Scalene — all sides different, (2) Isosceles — two sides equal, (3) Equilateral — all sides equal

When a side of a triangle

When a side of a triangle is extended, an exterior angle is formed. This exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. For e

An altitude is a perpendicular line

An altitude is a perpendicular line from a vertex to the opposite side. A median joins a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Every triangle h
