Mensuration : Triangle

(1) Sum of angles of a triangle is 180° .
∠BAC+∠ACB+∠CBA=180

(2) Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side of that triangle. In the above triangle AB+BC > AC , BC + AC > AB , AB + AC > BC
Area of Traingle :




Where a, b, c are the sides of a triangle




Types of Traingles :

equilaterial triangle :
Triangle with all sides equal in length is termed as euilaterial triangle .
In equilaterial triangle all angles are equal to 60°
Area of equilaterial triangle :

Right Angled Triangle :

For right angled triangle one angle should be of 90°.
Here, l is hight, b is base and h is hypoteneous of right angled triangle .

h^2 = l^2 + b^2


Area of right angled traingle =

(1/2)*(l*b)


Isoceles Triangle:
A triangle with any two sides and opposite angles equal is termed as Isoceles triangle.
Area of Isoceles triangle :
Area of Isoceles triangle = (1/2 )*(a/2)*(h)
