A triangle is a polygon which has three sides.
All triangles have the following properties:
² The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180o .
² Any exterior angle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.
² The longest side is opposite the largest angle.
² The triangle is the only rigid polygon.
