 What is a triangle
A closed figure obtained by joining
three non-collinear point is called A

triangle. A triangle ABC has been

shown in figure .here A,B and C are
the vertices of the Triangle ABC and
the line segment AB,BC,CA are the Angle
C
Sides Of the Triangle. Also BAC, B
ABC , BCA are the angles of Side Vertex

triangle ABC .We can write these

angles as A , B, C
 Properties of triangle

1. Sum of the angles of a triangle is 1800.

Proof:
Proof 1.Draw a triangle and label its angles
as 1,2 and 3
2. Cut out the triangular region into
three
parts. 1

 Sum of the angles of a triangle is
1800.
3. Draw a line POQ on a sheet of paper and
arrange the cut out angles on it so that
vertex of each is at O. We can observe that the
three angles together makes up a straight angle
POQ and a straight angle is of 1800

the sum of two interior opposite
angles.
Proof :1 Draw a triangle ABC with exterior
angle ACD and label interior able
opposite to this exterior angle as 1 and 2
2. cut out these angles and arrange the
interior angle 1 and 2 over exterior angle
ACD
3. We will find that these angle will cover
the exterior angle completely.

 3. The sum of sides of a triangle is
greater than the third side
Proof : To prove this property we draw three triangles
ABC and find the length of side AB,BC,CA
in each triangle and collected the following
information.
Triangle Side Side Side Is AB+BC Is BC+CA Is CA+AB
AB BC AC > CA ? > AB ? > BC ?

Construction of triangle
Here we are presenting the construction of the
triangle whose Two sides and one angle is
given.
To make such kind of triangle firstly we
will draw a rough sketch of the triangle and
then go with the actual construction .
 Construction of triangle
with one angle and two
side
Draw the rough sketch in with draw one of the
side as base side BC and angle indicated at any
of vertex then cut this angle line to the length
of second side and join the intersection point
with other vertex .

4. Place start point of the scale at point B and

mark a point on line BX at 4cm distance and
named this point as A. X
