Study Notes

Triangle Types and Conditions

  • Unique Triangle: Formed when conditions allow for only one triangle to be created.
  • Many Nonidentical Triangles: Conditions enable multiple triangles that differ in appearance.
  • Many Similar Triangles: Conditions lead to numerous triangles sharing the same shape but differing in size.
  • No Triangle at all: When given conditions make it impossible to form a triangle.

Conditions for Triangle Formation

  • Unique Triangle Conditions: Combinations of Angle, Side, Angle (ASA), Side, Angle, Side (SAS), or Side, Side, Side (SSS) with the added criterion that a + b > c.
  • Nonidentical Triangle Conditions: Often arise when only one or two angles or sides are provided, leading to various configurations.
  • Similar Triangle Conditions: Established with Angle, Angle, Angle (AAA) criteria, resulting in triangles of the same shape.

Criteria Leading to No Triangle

  • If sides do not meet triangle inequalities, such as a + b = c or a + b < c.
  • If angle measures do not sum to 180 degrees, either exceeding or falling short.

Properties of Triangles

  • Sum of Angles in a Triangle: Always equals 180 degrees.
  • Isosceles Triangle: Contains two congruent sides with equal base angles.
  • Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are congruent, with angles measuring 60 degrees each.
  • Right Triangle: Features one 90-degree angle and two acute angles.
  • Acute Triangle: All angles are acute.
  • Obtuse Triangle: Contains one obtuse angle (> 90 degrees) and two acute angles.

Example Problems and Solutions

  • Example 1: Sides 5mm, 1mm, and 1mm yield no triangle.
  • Example 2: Sides 5mm, 8mm, and 8mm form one unique triangle.
  • Example 3: Sides 9ft, 1ft, and 6ft create no triangle.
  • Example 4: Angles 72°, 34°, and 74° can lead to many similar triangles.
  • Example 5: Angles 100°, 70°, and 40° result in no triangle.
  • Example 6: Angles 90°, 25°, and 85° do not form a triangle.
  • Example 7: Sides 3 in, 8 in, with an included angle of 75° create one unique triangle.
  • Example 8: Angles 27°, 39° with a side of 17 cm yield one unique triangle.

Additional Example

  • Isosceles Triangle Problem: With a base angle of 35°, the other two angles measure 35° and 110° respectively.
