    1) A triangle is a polygon with three sides. Triangles can be classified by their sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) and angles (acute, right, obtuse, equiangular). 2) The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is 180 degrees, as stated by the Triangle Sum Theorem. 3) The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles, according to the Exterior Angle Theorem.

    The key takeaways are that triangles can be classified based on their side lengths as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangles and based on their angle measures as acute, right, obtuse, or equiangular triangles. The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

    Triangles can be classified by their sides as equilateral if all three sides are equal, isosceles if at least two sides are equal, or scalene if all three sides are different lengths.

    Triangles can be classified by their angles as acute if all three angles are less than 90 degrees, right if one angle is 90 degrees, obtuse if one angle is greater than 90 degrees, or equiangular if all three angles are equal in measure.

    Triangles

    A triangle is a polygon with three sides.


    Classifying Triangles
    We name a triangle using its vertices.

    For example,

    C
    ∆ABC ∆ACB
    A
    ∆BAC ∆BCA
    ∆CAB ∆CBA
    Opposite Sides and Angles
    We say that BC is opposite A .

    What is opposite C ?

    What is opposite of CA ?
    Triangles can be classified by their
    Sides Angles
    • Scalene • Acute

    Angles
    When the sides of a polygon are extended, other angles
    are formed. The inside/original angles are the interior angles.
    The adjacent/outside angles that form linear pairs
    with the interior angles are the exterior angles.

    Corollary
    Definition:
    A corollary to a theorem is a statement that
    can be proven easily using another theorem.
    Third Angle Corollary
    If two angles in one triangle are congruent to two
    angles in another triangle, then the third angles are
    congruent.
    Equiangular Corollary
    Each angle in an equiangular triangle is 60˚.
    Right Angle Corollary
    There can be at most one right or
    obtuse angle in a triangle.
    Acute Corollary
    Acute angles in a right triangle are
    complementary.
