Triangle: A closed figure bounded by three line segments is called a triangle.
A
B C
In the above figure, ABC is a triangle.
Properties:
1) It has three vertices
2) It has three sides
3) Sum of the three angles is 180°.
Types of Triangle:
1) Based on side: Based on the sides, there are three types of triangle.
i) Equilateral Triangle: A triangle whose all sides are equal in length is called an equilateral
triangle. A
Properties:
1) All sides are equal in length
2) All angles are equal and measure of each angle is 60°.
B C
In the above figure, ABC is an equilateral triangle.
ii) Isosceles Triangle: A triangle whose two sides are equal in length is called an isosceles
triangle. A
Properties:
i) Two sides are equal in length
ii) Opposite angles of equal sides are equal.
B C
In the above figure, ABC is an isosceles triangle.
iii) Scalene Triangle: A triangle whose all sides are unequal in length is called a scalene triangle.
Properties:
1) All sides are unequal in length A
2) All angles are unequal
B C
2) Based on Angle: Based on angle, there are three types of triangle.
i) Acute angled triangle: If all the interior angles of a triangle are acute or less than 90° then the
triangle is called an acute angled triangle.
A
B C
In the above figure, ABC is an acute angled triangle.
ii) Obtuse angled Triangle: If one of the interior angle of a triangle is obtuse or greater than 90°
then the triangle is called an obtuse angled triangle.
B C
In the above figure, ABC is an obtuse angled triangle.
iii) Right angled Triangle: If one of the interior angle of a triangle is equal to 90° then the
triangle is called a right angled triangle.
A
B C
In the above figure, ABC is a right angled triangle.
