TRIANGLES
AND
TYPES OF TRIANGLES

We get a TRIANGLE by joining

three non collinear points .

Definition

Triangle a polygon with

3 angles and 3 straight
sides.

EXAMPLE
TRIANGLE

- 3 SIDES.
- 3 VERTICES
- 3 ANGLES

Definition

Angle two non-collinear

rays that meet at a
common end point.

-SIDES
-AS, AM,SM

BASIC PARTS

-VERTICES
-S, A, M
-ANGLES
S, A. M

What is a TRIANGLE ?
A closed figure formed by joining
three line segments is called a
TRIANGLE .

A triangle has three sides

A triangle has three angles

Definition

Right Angle an angle

whose measure is exactly
90.Also define as an angle
formed by 2 perpendicular
lines.

Definition

Perpendicular lines are

two lines intersecting at
right angles.
P
For example,
ray EP & ray ET.
E

Definition
Degree a unit of
measurement of an angle
or arc, represented by
the symbol .

TRIANGLES
-ARE NAMED BY
THEIR
VERTICES.
-For example,
-The triangle
S
shown can be
named as SAM.

TYPES OF TRIANGLES
Two Ways
On the basis of angles
On the basis of sides

On the basis of ANGLES

Three types
Acute angled triangle
Right angled triangle
Obtuse angled triangle

Acute angled triangle

A triangle whose all the angles are
acute is called an ACUTE ANGLED
TRIANGLE .

Right angled triangle

A triangle in which one of the angle
is right angle is called RIGHT ANGLED
TRIANGLE.

Obtused angled triangle

A triangle in which one of the angle
is obtuse angle is called OBTUSED
ANGLED TRIANGLE .

Classification On the basis

of sides
Three types
Equilateral triangle
Isosceles triangle
Scalene triangle

Equilateral triangle
A triangle whose all the sides are of
equal length is called equilateral
triangle.

Isosceles triangle
A triangle whose any two sides are of
equal measure is called scalene
triangle.

Scalene triangle
A triangle whose no two sides are of
equal measure is called scalene
triangle.

CLASSIFICATION of
triangles
ACCORDING TO THEIR
ANGLES.

Points to remember
A closed figure formed by joining three
non collinear points is called
A triangle whose all the sides are of
equal length is called
A triangle whose no two sides are of
equal length is called
A triangle whose one angle is 90 degree
is called
A triangle whose all the angles are less
than 90 degree is called

angles equals 180
