Triangle Types and Properties Explained

This chapter discusses the properties and types of triangles, which are defined by their sides and angles. It categorizes triangles into scalene, isosceles, and equilateral based on sides, and acute, right, and obtuse based on angles. Key properties include the equality of base angles in isosceles triangles and the triangle inequality theorem.

CHAPTER-6

THE TRIANGLES AND ITS PROPERTIES

1. A triangle is a simple closed curve made of three segments.


2. A triangle has three sides and three angles, and all three sides and angles are
called six elements of the triangle.

TYPES OF TRIANGLES (ON THE BASIS OF SIDES)

SCALENE ISOSCELES EQUILATERAL


TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE
ͽ If all the sides of a triangle ͽ If any two sides of a triangle ͽ If all the sides of a triangle
are unequal, it is called are equal, it is called are equal, it is called
Scalene triangle. Isosceles triangle. Equilateral triangle.

TYPES OF TRIANGLES (ON THE BASIS OF ANGLES)

ACUTE RIGHT OBTUSE


TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE
ͽ If all the three angles of a ͽ If one angle of a triangle ͽ If one angle of a triangle
triangle are acute, it is is a right angle, it is called is obtuse, it is called
Acute angled triangle. Right angled triangle. Obtuse angled triangle.
In the above figure:
d° (exterior angle) + b° (adjacent interior) = 180°

In the above figure:


d° = a° + c°

base angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.

A triangle in which all the three sides are of equal lengths is called an equilateral triangle.
b) The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the


hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
