Triangles<br />

Types of triangles:<br />

1. Scalene triangle: The sides of the triangle<br />

(i) are all of different length;<br />

(ii) angles are also of different sizes.<br />

2. Isosceles triangle: (i) two sides equal; (ii) two angles equal. The third side is the<br />

base. The vertex (F) opposite the base is called the vertex. The angle at the vertex<br />

is called Vertical angle. The bisector of the vertical angle of an isosceles triangle<br />

bisects the base at right angles.<br />

(i.e. DX = XE).<br />

3. Equilateral triangle: All the sides and angles are equal.<br />

4. An acute angled triangle has all three angles acute.
