Study Notes
Types of Triangles by Sides
- Scalene Triangle: No sides are congruent; all sides have different lengths.
- Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are congruent; has at least two equal lengths.
- Equilateral Triangle: Three sides are congruent; all sides are equal in length.
Types of Triangles by Angles
- Acute Triangle: All three angles are less than 90 degrees.
- Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.
- Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees.
- Equiangular Triangle: All three angles are congruent; each angle measures 60 degrees.
Combination Classifications
- Right-Scalene: A right triangle with no equal sides.
- Acute-Scalene: An acute triangle with no equal sides.
- Obtuse-Scalene: An obtuse triangle with no equal sides.
- Right-Isosceles: A right triangle with two equal sides.
- Acute-Isosceles: An acute triangle with two equal sides.
- Obtuse-Isosceles: An obtuse triangle with two equal sides.
- Equiangular-Equilateral: An equilateral triangle, which is also equiangular.
Triangle Angle Measurements
- A right triangle has one angle equal to 90 degrees, while the other two angles must add up to 90 degrees.
- In an equiangular triangle, each angle measures 60 degrees.
- The sum of all angles in any triangle equals 180 degrees.
Side Length Relationships
- The longest side is opposite the largest angle and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.
- For a triangle with side lengths of 10, 8, and an unknown length, the third side must be less than 18 and greater than 2 (triangle inequality).
- In a triangle, the sum of any two side lengths must be greater than the length of the third side.
Angle Measurements in Specific Cases
- In Triangle XYZ, if two angles measure 68 and 50 degrees, the third angle measures 62 degrees (180 - 68 - 50).
- Triangle PQR with angles of 120 and 32 degrees results in the third angle measuring 28 degrees (180 - 120 - 32).
- If two angles are equal and the third measures 98 degrees in Triangle JKL, the first two angles each measure 41 degrees [(180 - 98) / 2].
Additional Insights
- The midsize angle in a triangle is opposite the mid-length side.
- The angles in a triangle determine relationships and constraints on the side lengths, forming the basis for triangle classifications.
