A triangle is a closed shape with three sides and three angles. The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Triangles are classified based on the lengths of their sides and the measures of their angles.
1. Perimeter: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides.
- Perimeter = Side1 + Side2 + Side32. Area: The area of a triangle can be calculated using the base and height.
- Area = (1/2) * Base * Height3. Pythagorean Theorem: For a right-angled triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states:
- a² + b² = c², where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
