Introduction

A plane figure bounded by three straight


line segments is called a triangle

The adjoining figure shows a triangle ABC whose


1) Vertices are A,B and C
2) Sides are AB,BC and AC
Some important terms
• Median of a triangle , corresponding to any side , is the line joining
the mid point of that side with the opposite vertex
• Centroid point of intersection of the medians .

Altitude- an altitude of a triangle , corresponding to any


side , is the length of the perpendicular drawn from the
Opposite vertex to that side
Congurency
• Two triangles are said to be congruent to each other, if on placing on
over the other , they exactly collide.
• The given figure shows two triangles ABC and DEF such that
1)<A = < D; <B = <E and <C =<F
2) AB = DE; BC = EF and AC = DF

ABC congruent to DEF


Conditions for congruency of
triangles
• S.A.S – side angle side
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two
sides and the included angle of the other triangle , the triangle is
congruent.
• A.S.A –angle side angle
if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two
angles and the included side of the other triangle the triangle is knowns
as congruent by A.S.A
A.A.S – angle angle side
If two angles and one side of one triangle are equal to two angles and
the corresponding side of the other triangle, the triangles are
congruent s
S.S.S – side side side
If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides
of the other triangle, each to each
