 WHAT IS
TRIANGLE ???
 Triangle is a closed figure having 3
sides & 3 angles. A triangle is one of the
basic shapes of geometry with three
vertices and three line segments.
 Triangle means :
Tri + Angle
means a figure consisting of 3 angles
hence 3 sides
TYPES OF TRIANGLE
A Right Triangle has one angle of 90 degree

Right Triangle

In Isosceles Triangle two sides are equal

Isosceles Triangle
 TYPES OF TRIANGLE
In an Equilateral Triangle all three sides
are equal

Equilateral Triangle

In a ScaleneTriangle all sides have

different lengths

 RIGHT TRIANGLE

 One angle of
triangle is of
90° . P H
 Other 2 angles

are acute angles

(< 90° )

 PROPERTIES
 Right Triangle is one of the basic shapes
of geometry.
 This triangle is mostly used in
trigonometric ratios.
 One angle of right triangle is 90°.
 The sum of other acute angles is 90°.
 The sum of all the angles is 180 °.
 It is a two-dimensional figure with three
vertices and three sides.
 PYTHAGOREAN
THEOREM
Pythagorean
theorem holds
true for right
triangle.
i.e.
c2 = a2 + b2
 PYTHAGOREAN
THEOREM
Perpendicular Hypotenuse

Base
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2

Area of RT triangle = ½ (Perpendicular) (Base)

 USES OF RIGHT
TRIANGLE
 Used for measuring C
heights & distances.
 Used for surveying .
 Used for
engineering purpose.
