Type of Triangles

The document discusses different types of triangles and their properties. It defines congruent triangles as those with equal corresponding sides and angles, and similar triangles as those with equal angles but sides in proportion. Congruent triangles can be proven using side-side-side, side-angle-side, angle-side-angle, or angle-angle-side criteria. Similar triangles have corresponding sides in the same ratio and equal angles.

Problem Solving Activities : Minggu 2 1. Name and sketch the different types of triangles.

Complete the table below on the properties of the different types of triangle : Type of Triangles Sides Equilateral triangle All sides are equal in length All angles equal Angles Properties Lines of symmetry

Isosceles triangle

2 equal sides

2 equal angles

Scalene Triangle No equal side No equal angle No line of symmetry

Acute scalene Triangle No equal side for acute scalene triangle but acute isosceles triangle has 2 same sides All angles less than 90 degree Only acute isosceles triangle has 2 same angles Only acute isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry

Acute isosceles triangle

Right Triangle Only right isosceles triangle has 2 same sides Has 1 right angle Only right isosceles triangle has 2 same angles Only right isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry

Right Isosceles triangle

Obtuse Scalene Triangle No equal side for obtuse scalene triangle but obtuse isosceles triangle has 2 same sides Has 1 angle more than 90 degree Only obtuse isosceles triangle has 2 same angles Only obtuse isosceles triangle has line of symmetry

Obtuse isosceles triangle

2. Congruent triangles and Similar Triangles a) What does it mean by congruent triangles? Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a mirror image of the other.

b) Draw two triangles ( ABC, XYZ) that are congruent. A Y X C

c) If two triangles are congruent, are their corresponding angles equal? Yes i.

SSS (side side side). All three corresponding sides are equal in length. So, corresponding angles are equal. SAS (side angle side) A pair of corresponding sides and the included angle are equal. So, corresponding angles are equal. ASA (angle side angle) A pair of corresponding angles and the included side are equal. AAS (angle angle side) A pair of corresponding angles and a non-included side are equal.

iii.

iv.

d) Two figures are similar if the only difference is size .

Draw two triangles ( ABC, PQR) that are similar. B

A P

e) Two triangles are similar if the only difference is size. Are the sizes of their corresponding sides equal? Identify the properties of the similar triangles. No. Similar triangles have all their angles equal and corresponding sides have the same ratio.

Scale factor for enlargement, K = The ratio of the length of the scale drawing to the corresponding length of the actual object.

If two shapes are similar: they have the same shape same angles but can be different sizes

For any two similar figures the ratio of the imej to the original object : Length = k Area = Volume = K = scale faktor h = height of the triangle
