Types of Triangles Equilateral Triangle Isosceles triangle Scalene triangle 3 equal sides 2 equal sides 3 unequal sides 3 equal angles. 2 equal angles (base) 3 unequal angles

Any triangle containing a 90 o angle is a right-angled triangle 90 o An

Any triangle containing a 90 o angle is a right-angled triangle 90 o An isosceles or a scalene triangle may contain a right angle. When you see the box in the corner, you know the angle is 90 o Right-angled isosceles triangles. scalene triangle.

Triangles may be classified by the lengths of their sides. Triangles may also be

Triangles may be classified by the lengths of their sides. Triangles may also be classified by their angles.

The 3 Angles inside a triangle always add up to 1800 This is called

The 3 Angles inside a triangle always add up to 1800 This is called the Angle Sum.

To determine the angle sum of any Triangle Take 3 identical copies of this

To determine the angle sum of any Triangle Take 3 identical copies of this triangle and put them together, so: How can we use this to help us? 3 1 Angles on a straight line add to 180 o 2 These are the same angles as in the triangle! The angle sum of a triangle = 1800

Complete this activity to prove that the three angles inside a triangle add up

Complete this activity to prove that the three angles inside a triangle add up to 1800 1. Draw a triangle with a ruler and put a star on all three corners. Cut out the triangle. 3. 2. A straight line is 1800

Types of Triangles Review 2. 1. 3. Equilateral Triangle Isosceles triangle Scalene triangle 3 equal sides 2 equal sides 3 unequal sides 3 equal angles. 2 equal angles (base) 3 unequal angles 4. 5. Any triangle containing a 90 o angle is a rightangled triangle The angle sum of a triangle = 1800

Calculating unknown Angles Example 1 65 o Calculate angle a. a You know that

Calculating unknown Angles Example 1 65 o Calculate angle a. a You know that 1800 is the total sum of the angles inside a triangle. Angle a = 180 – (90 + 65) = 180 – 155 = 25 o Example 2 b Calculate angles a, b and c a c

Calculating unknown Angles Example 3 b Angle a = 65 o (base angles of

Calculating unknown Angles Example 3 b Angle a = 65 o (base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal). Calculate angle a. 65 o Angle b = 180 –(65 + 65) a = 180 – 130 = 50 o Angle b = 50 o Example 4 Calculate angles x and y 130 o x y

Calculating unknown Angles 90 o Example 5 Calculate angles a and b. a b

Calculating unknown Angles 90 o Example 5 Calculate angles a and b. a b Example 6 27 o Calculate angle a 15 o Angle a = 180 – (15 + 27) = 180 – 42 = 138 o a
