Triangles

Triangle is a three sided bounded figure

Triangle is a polygen

Three types of triangles-

Equilateral triangle

Scalene triangle

Isosceles triangle

Equilateral triangle

_all three sides are equal and all 3 angles are equal

Isosceles triangle

2 sides are equal and 2 angles are equal

Scalene triangle

no equal side and no equal angle

Angle triangle

A triangle has only three median which intersect at a point called as CENTROID

Median divides the area of angle in half

Centroid divides the length of each median in 2:1 ratio

Centroid divides the triangle in six smaller pieces

Length of median of an equilateral triangle is always equal
