Topics in Triangles

1

Introduction and Basic Properties

  • A triangle is a plane figure bounded by three straight line segments
  • Every triangle has three vertices, three sides, and three angles
  • The sum of all angles in any triangle is always 180°
2

Relationship Between Sides and Angles

  • In a triangle with unequal sides, the greater side has the greater angle opposite to it
  • In a triangle with unequal angles, the greater angle has the greater side opposite to it
  • If two sides are equal, their opposite angles are also equal (isosceles triangle property)
3

Median and Altitude

  • A median joins a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
  • Every triangle has three medians that intersect at the centroid
  • The centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1
4

Congruent Triangles

  • Two triangles are congruent if they have the same shape and size
  • Congruent triangles can be superimposed exactly on each other
  • Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal (CPCTC)
