WHAT IS
TRIANGLE?
A triangle is a polygon
with three edges and
three vertices. It is one of
the basic shapes in
geometry. A triangle with
vertices say A, B, and C is
denoted ΔABC.
 TYPES OF
TRIANGLE
• Triangles are classified on the basis
of:

– Sides
– Angles
TYPES OF TRIANGLE ON THE
BASIS OF SIDES

• EQUILATERAL
TRIANGLE

• ISOSCELES TRIANGLE

• SCALENE TRIANGLE
 EQUILATERAL
• TRIANGLE
It has 3 equal sides.
• It has 3 equal angles.
• Since the sum of the interior angles is 180
degrees, every angle of an equilateral
triangle is 60 degrees.
• It is a regular polygon with 3 sides.
• The altitude and median from a vertex is
the same single line.
• The ortho-centre and centroid of the
triangle is the same point.
 ISOSCELES
• TRIANGLE
It has two equal sides.
• It has two equal angles, that is, the base
angles.
• When the third angle is 90 degrees, it is
called a right isosceles triangle.
• The altitude from the apex to the
base
bisects the angle at the apex.
 SCALENE
TRIANGLE
• It has no equal sides, i.e. all the sides are
unequal.
• All the three angle are unequal, but
the sum of all the angle is 180 degree

• Triangle
• Classification of triangle on basis of:
– Sides
– Angles
• Types of triangle on basis of sides:
• Equilateral triangle
• Isosceles triangle
• Scalene triangle
TYPES OF TRIANGLE BASIS OF ANGLE

•Acute Triangle: When all the angles of a triangle

are acute, that is, they measure less than 90°, it is
called an acute-angled triangle or acute triangle.
•Right Triangle: When one of the angles of a
triangle is 90°, it is called a right-angled triangle or
right triangle.
Obtuse Triangle: When one of the angles of a
triangle is an obtuse angle, that is, it measures greater
than 90°, it is called an obtuse-angled triangle or 
obtuse triangle.
