Triangle

on . Posted in Plane Geometry

triangle 2triangle 1A triangle is a polygon with three sides, three vertices, and three angles.  The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

  • All triangles have three angles.
  • All triangles have three sides.
  • The sum of all angles of a triangle always equal \(180^\circ\).     \( x^\circ \;+\; y^\circ \;+\; z^\circ = 180^\circ  \)
  • Sides:  \(a\),  \(b\),  \(c\)
  • Angles:  \(A\),  \(B\),  \(C\)
  • Height:  \(h_a\),  \(h_b\),  \(h_c\)
  • Median:  \(m_a\),  \(m_b\),  \(m_c\)  -  A line segment from a vertex (corner point) to the midpoint of the opposite side
  • Angle bisectors:  \(t_a\),  \(t_b\),  \(t_c\)  -  A line that splits an angle into two equal angles
  • Perimeter:  \(P\)
  • Semi-perimeter:  \(s\)  -  One half of the perimeter
  • Area:  \(K\)
  • Inradius of triangle:  \(r\)
  • Outradius (circumcircle) of triangle:  \(R\)
