📐 Understanding Triangles and Their Properties

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a closed shape with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. It's one of the most fundamental shapes in geometry and has fascinating properties!

Why are triangles special?

Triangles are strong, stable, and appear everywhere in nature and construction. Understanding their properties helps us solve real-world problems!

📏 Types of Triangles by Sides

⭐ Equilateral Triangle
All three sides are equal in length. All three angles are also equal (60° each).
3 Equal Sides • 3 Equal Angles (60°)
🔷 Isosceles Triangle
Two sides are equal in length. The angles opposite to equal sides are also equal.
2 Equal Sides • 2 Equal Angles
🔶 Scalene Triangle
All three sides have different lengths. All three angles are also different.
3 Different Sides • 3 Different Angles

📐 Types of Triangles by Angles

✨ Acute Triangle
All three angles are less than 90° (acute angles). The triangle appears sharp.
All Angles < 90°
📏 Right Triangle
One angle is exactly 90° (right angle). The side opposite to it is the longest (hypotenuse).
One Angle = 90°
🌙 Obtuse Triangle
One angle is greater than 90° (obtuse angle). The triangle appears wide.
One Angle > 90°

🎯 Key Properties:

• The sum of all three angles in any triangle is always 180°

• The longest side is always opposite to the largest angle

• The shortest side is always opposite to the smallest angle

• Any two sides of a triangle are always greater than the third side
