Pre-requisite:
Triangle is a closed geometric figure with three sides (Every three non-collinear points
form a triangle).
Examples:
Figure3
Figure1 Figure2
Not triangle (not closed)
Not triangle (4sides) Triangle
Elements of a triangle:
Every triangle has 3 vertices, 3 angles and 3 sides
In the adjacent figure the vertices are: A, B and C
Sides: [AB], [AC] and [BC]
̂C, AĈB and BA
Angles: AB ̂C
Your turn (Activity 1): Fill in the blanks by referring to the given triangle:
Name of this triangles: --------------
3 sides: ---------- ---------- ----------
3 angles: ---------- ---------- ---------
3 vertices: --------- --------- ---------
1
Sum of angles in a triangle:
The sum of angles in any triangle is always 1800
̂C + AĈB + BA
AB ̂ C = 1800
Example:
Your turn (Activity 2): Calculate the missing angle in each figure:
