Properties of Triangles
1 Interior Angles
The sum of the three interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

2 Pythagorean Theorem
The relationship between the lengths of the three sides of a
right triangle is given by the Pythagorean theorem.

3 Similarity
Triangles can be similar, meaning they have the same shape
but different sizes.

4 Congruence
Triangles can be congruent, meaning they have the same size
and shape.
Applications of Triangles
Construction
Triangles are widely used in building and engineering
due to their inherent stability and strength.

Surveying
Triangulation is a fundamental technique in
surveying and navigation, using the properties of
triangles to measure distances and angles.

Art and Design


Triangular shapes are often used in art, architecture,
and graphic design for their visual appeal and
dynamic qualities.
Conclusion
Versatility
Triangles are a fundamental building block of geometry and
have a wide range of practical and artistic applications.

Importance
Understanding the properties and uses of triangles is crucial in
various fields, from engineering to mathematics and beyond.

Ongoing Exploration
The study of triangles continues to yield new insights and
applications, making them an endlessly fascinating topic of
exploration.
