TRIANGLE

S
A triangle is a closed plane figure with three straight sides and their interior
angles add up exactly to 180 degree.
TYPES OF
TRIANGLE
Equilateral triangle S
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and angles. It will always have
angles of 60° in each corner.

Isosceles triangle
An isosceles triangle can be drawn in many different ways. It can be drawn
to have two equal sides and two equal angles or with two acute angles and
one obtuse angle. It is easy to work out the missing angles of an isosceles
triangle by looking for the angles that should be equal.
Right-angled triangle
A right-angled triangle has one 90° angle. That 90° angle is shown as a
small square where two sides of the triangle join. It is possible for a triangle
to be a right-angled triangle and an isosceles triangle at the same time. In
this case the angles would be 90°, 45° and 45°.

Scalene triangle
A scalene triangle has three different angles and none of its sides are equal
in length.
Obtuse triangle
An obtuse triangle has three different angles, with one angle greater than
90°. None of its sides are equal in length.

Acute triangle
An Acute triangle has three acute angles (less than 90 degrees)
