Key Concepts and Definitions:
Triangle: A polygon with three edges and three vertices.Types of Triangles:
By Sides:
Scalene Triangle: No sides are equal.Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal.Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are equal.
By Angles:
Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90 degrees.Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees.Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.
Chapter Content:
Introduction to Triangles:
Definition and importance of triangles in geometry.
Basic properties and parts of a triangle (sides, angles, vertices).
Key Concepts:
Types of Triangles:
Understanding and classifying triangles by sides and angles.
Angle Sum Property:
The sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Exterior Angle Property:
The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent interior angles.
Congruence of Triangles:
Criteria for triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and RHS).
Proving triangles are congruent using these criteria.
Inequalities in Triangles:
Triangle inequality theorem: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Inequalities involving angles and sides.
Important Theorems:
Pythagoras Theorem:
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Basic Proportionality Theorem (Thales’ Theorem):
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, it divides the other two sides proportionally.
Midpoint Theorem:
The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half as long.
