1

1. Basic Ideas and Side-Angle Relations

  • A triangle has three sides and three vertices.
  • Triangle ABC is used as the main example, with sides AB, BC and CA and vertices A, B and C.
  • If all sides of a triangle are different, then all angles are different.
2

2. Medians, Centroid, Altitudes and Orthocentre

  • The median of a triangle is the line joining the mid-point of a side with the opposite vertex.
  • A triangle has three medians.
  • The three medians are concurrent and meet at one point called the centroid.

3. Angle Sum, Exterior Angles and Corollaries

  • The sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180 degrees.
  • An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two interior opposite angles.
  • An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than each of the interior opposite angles.
4

4. Congruent Triangles and CPCTC

  • Two triangles are congruent if, on placing one over the other, they exactly coincide.
  • Congruent triangles have the same shape and the same size.
  • In congruent triangles, corresponding sides are equal and corresponding angles are equal.
