Understanding Triangle Types and Properties

A triangle is a polygon with three corners (vertices) and three sides (edges), and it has three angles. The document explains segments of a triangle, including angle bisector, altitude, and median, as well as types of triangles categorized by angles (acute, right, obtuse, equilateral) and by sides (scalene, isosceles, equilateral). Overall, it provides a foundational understanding of triangles in geometry.

WHAT IS
A
TRIANGLE
?
A triangle is a polygon with three
corners and three sides, one of
the basic shapes in geometry.
The corners, also called vertices,
are zero-dimensional points while
the sides connecting them, also
called edges, are one-dimensional
line segments.

Angle bisector of a Triangle

An angle bisector of a
triangle is a segment
contained in a ray,
which bisects the angle
of the triangle, and
whose endpoints are
the vertex of this angle
and a point on the
opposite side.
Altittude of a Triangle
A segment is altitude
of a triangle if and only
if it is perpendicular
from a vertex of the
triangle to the line that
contains the opposite
side.
Median of a Triangle

A segment is a
median of a triangle if
and only if its
endpoints are a vertex
and the midpoint of
the opposite side.
