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

  1. the lengths of their sides
  2. the sizes of their angle; and
  3. 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.
