More about Triangles
Points
to be Remember:-
1. If two sides of a
triangle are equal, then their opposite angles are
also equal.
2. If two angles of a
triangle are equal, then their opposite sides are
also equal.
Points to be Remember:-
1. Pythagoras theorem: In a right angled
triangle, the square of
hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of
its side
2.
In a right angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side.
3.
If the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the
squares of the remaining two sides, then
the angle opposite the
first side is a right angle.
Points
to be Remember:-
1. The perpendicular line
segment drawn from any vertex of a triangle
into the opposite side is called altitude of the triangle.
2. A triangle has three
altitudes. From each vertex one altitude is
Obtained
3. The altitudes of a
triangle are concurrent. The point
of
concurrence of the altitudes of a triangle
is called the orthocenter
of the triangle.
4. The line segment joining
any vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of
its opposite side is known as median of the triangle.
5. A triangle has three
vertices and from each vertex one median is
obtained. Thus a triangle has three
medians.
6. The medians of a triangle
are concurrent. The point of concurrence
of the medians of a triangle is called centroid of triangle.
Points
to be Remember:-
1. A perpendicular bisector
of a side of a triangle is the line that is
perpendicular to the side and bisects it.
2. A triangle has three
sides. Therefore, it has three perpendicular
bisects.
3. The perpendicular bisects
of the sides of a triangle are concurrent.
The point of concurrence of the
perpendicular bisectors of the
sides of a triangle is called the
circumcentre of the triangle.
4. An angle bisector of a
triangle is the line segment which bisects a
angle of the triangle and has its other
end point on the opposite
side of that angle.
5. A triangle has three
angles and each angle has a bisector.
Therefore a triangle has three angle
bisector.
6. The angle bisector of a
triangle are concurrent. The point of
concurrence of the angle bisectors of a
triangle is called its
incentre.
