Triangle and its Types
A triangle is a plane figure bounded by three straight lines. The figure below shows the typical shape of a triangle. The sum total of all the angles in a triangle is 180o. Triangles are described by
- the lengths of their sides
- the sizes of their angle; and
- a combination of both lengths of sides and sizes of angles
Types of Triangle
1. Right angled triangle: A right-angled triangle has one angle equal to 90o. The side opposite the 90o is called the hypotenuse.
2. Equilateral triangle: An equilateral triangle has all the three sides and angles equal.
