Study Notes

Properties of Triangles

  • A triangle is bounded by three line segments
  • It is determined by three non-collinear points
  • It is formed by the three line segments AB, BC and CA
  • Triangle ABC is denoted by ΔABC
  • Angles ∠BAC, ∠ABC, and ∠BCA can be denoted by ∠A, ∠B, etc.
  • The three angles of a triangle together are called the six parts
