Construction of Triangles
1

What’s New

What Is It

A triangle is a polygon with exactly three sides and three angles. The
basic parts of the triangle are the sides, vertices, and angles.

B ∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 has the following parts:

Sides : ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ , 𝐶𝐴

𝐴𝐵, 𝐵𝐶 ̅̅̅̅

C Vertices : Point A, Point B, Point C

A
Angles : ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵, ∠𝐶

Other terms are related to triangles such as the altitude, angle

bisector, and median. These are considered the secondary parts of a
triangle.

The altitude of a triangle is a

segment drawn from one vertex of a
triangle perpendicular to the opposite
side. It is also known as the height of a
triangle.
AT is an altitude of ∆𝐶𝐴𝑅.

4
 The angle bisector of a triangle is
a segment that divides an angle of a
triangle into two congruent angles.

AM is an angle bisector of ∆𝐵𝐴𝑇.

The median of a triangle is a

segment drawn from any vertex of a
triangle to the midpoint of the opposite
side.
̅̅̅̅
𝑈𝑃 is median of ∆𝐹𝑈𝑁.

Thus, every triangle has:

• three altitudes,
• three angle bisectors; and
• three medians.

Using these different parts, you can construct triangles if you are given
the following:
A. length of three sides
B. length of one side and two angles
C. length of two sides and one angle

In constructing triangles, you need the following materials:

Ruler Protractor Compass

A. Steps in constructing triangles given the lengths of three sides:

Example: Construct a triangle with sides 3 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm.

STEPS ILLUSTRATIONS
1. Draw the longest side using a ruler.

2. Open the pair of compasses until

they are as wide as the second length.
Draw an arc from one endpoint of your
longest side above the line.

3. Open the pair of compasses until

they are as wide as the third length.
Draw an arc from the other endpoint of
your longest side above the line.

4. Connect the point of the

intersection of the arcs to the points of
your longest side using a ruler.

5. Erase the arc.

6
B. Steps in constructing triangles given the length of one side and two
angles.

Example: Construct a triangle with one side measuring 5 cm, and two
angles measuring 60° and 40°.
STEPS ILLUSTRATIONS
1. Draw the given side.

2. From one endpoint of the given

side, use a protractor to measure

4. From the other endpoint of the

given side, use a protractor to
measure the second given angle.
Put a construction mark.

5. Use a ruler to draw a line from the

other endpoint of your given side to
the construction mark.

6. Erase the extra parts of the lines.

7
C. Steps in constructing triangles given the lengths of two sides and one
angle.
Example: Construct a triangle with sides that measure 8 cm and 6 cm and
an angle measuring 45°.
STEPS ILLUSTRATIONS
1. Draw the longest side using a
ruler.

2. From one endpoint of the given

side, use a protractor to measure
the given angle. Put a construction
mark.
3. Use a ruler to draw a line from the
endpoint of your given side to the
construction mark.

4. Draw the third side of the triangle.

5. Erase the extra parts.

Remember!

The parts of a triangle are:

Primary Parts Secondary Parts
Sides Altitude
Vertices Angle Bisector
Angles Median
You can construct triangles when you are given three sides, two sides,
and one angle, or one side and two angles.

Consider this situation:

In going to school, Marie sees a triangular street signboard. The

corner of M. Malvar St. and G. del Pilar St. is 65°. The corner of J. Luna St.
and M. Malvar St. is 87°. She wants to find out the measure of an angle
formed by the corner of J. Luna St. and G. del Pilar St.

How can we help her?

What Is It

To answer the problem above, let us use the Angle Sum Theorem of a
Triangle.

to the given situation. Let us analyze and
solve this using George Polya’s steps:
In Mathematical symbol, ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°

16
 Sample Problem 1:
In going to school, Marie sees a triangular street sign board.
The corner of M. Malvar St. and G. del Pilar St. is 65°. The corner of
J. Luna St. and M. Malvar St. is 87°. She wants to find out the
measure of an angle formed by the corner of J. Luna St. and G. del
Pilar St.

Step 1: Understand the problem.

What is the measure of the angle
A. What is asked? formed by the corner of J. Luna St.
and G. del Pilar St.?
B. What are the given values? 65° and 87°
Step 2: Devise a plan.
Addition and Subtraction
(use the Angle Sum theorem)
C. What operations are to be used? Let ∠3 be the angle formed by the
corner of J. Luna St. and G. del Pilar
St.
Step 3: Carry out the plan.
D. Solution: ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
65° + 87° + ∠3 = 180°
152° + ∠3 = 180°
∠3 = 180° − 152°
∠3 = 28°
Step 4: Look back.
E. Check your answer. 180° − 28° = 152°
152° − 65° = 87°
65° and 87° are the given angle.
Final Answer: Therefore, the angle formed by the corner of J. Luna St. and
G. del Pilar St. is 28°.

17
 Sample Problem 2:
In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 50°.
Find the measure of the other acute angle.

To answer the sample problem 2 easily, let us use our knowledge

about right triangles.

Right Triangle
A right triangle is a triangle having one right angle.
In Mathematical symbol,
∠1 + ∠2 + 90° = 180°

Step 1: Understand the problem.

Find the measure of the other acute

Right angle (90°) and
B. What are the given values?
Acute angle ( 50°)
Step 2: Devise a plan.
Addition and Subtraction
(use the formula :
∠1 + ∠2 + 90° = 180°
C. What operations are to be used? Let ∠ 2 be the other angle.
∠1 + ∠2 = 180° − 90°
∠1 + ∠2 = 90°

Step 3: Carry out the plan.

∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
50° + ∠2 = 90°
D. Solution:
∠2 = 90° − 50°
∠2 = 40°
Step 4: Look back.
E. Check your answer. 90° − 40° = 50°
Final Answer: Therefore, the other acute angle of the right triangle is 40°.

18
 In answering sample problem 3, let us apply our knowledge about
isosceles triangles.

Isosceles Triangle
A triangle is isosceles if two of its sides are
congruent. The congruent sides are its legs. The third side
is the base. The angles opposite the congruent sides are
the base angles and the angle included by the legs is the
vertex angle.

Sample Problem 3:
In an isosceles triangle, one base angle measures 49°. Find the
measures of the other two angles.

Step 1: Understand the problem.

Find the measures of the other two
A. What is asked?

Isosceles triangle
B. What are the given values?
The base angle is 49°.
Step 2: Devise a plan.
Addition and Subtraction
Note: Base angles are congruent.
C. What operations are to be used?
Let ∠1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠2 be the base angles
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
Step 3: Carry out the plan.
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 = 180°
49° + 49° + ∠3 = 180°
D. Solution: 98° + ∠3 = 180°
∠3 = 180° − 98°
∠3 = 82°
Step 4: Look back.
180° - 82° = 98°
E. Check your answer.
98° ÷ 2 = 49°
Final Answer: Therefore, the two angles are 49° and 82°.

Step 3: Carry out the plan.
2 ∠1 + ∠3 = 180°
2 ∠1 + 75 = 180°
2 ∠1 = 180° − 75°
D. Solution: 2 ∠1 = 105°
∠1 = 105° ÷ 2
∠1 = 52.5°

Step 4: Look back.

E. Check your answer. 180° - (52.5° x 2 ) = 75°
Final Answer: Therefore, the base angle of the isosceles triangle is
52.5°.

 Let us proceed in solving the exterior angles of a triangle.

Exterior Angle Theorem

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is
equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior
angles.
In the figure below, 𝑚 ∠ 1 = 𝑚∠3 + 𝑚∠ 4.

To solve sample problem 5, let us use our knowledge

about the Exterior Angle Theorem.

Sample Problem 5:
What is 𝑚 ∠ 4 if 𝑚 ∠ 1 = 132° and 𝑚 ∠ 3 = 85°?

Step 1: Understand the problem.

A. What is asked? Find the measure of ∠ 4.
B. What are the given values? 𝑚 ∠ 1 = 132° and 𝑚 ∠ 3 = 85°
Step 2: Devise a plan.
Addition and Subtraction
(Use the Exterior Angle Equality
C. What operations are to be used?

𝑚 ∠ 1 = 𝑚∠3 + 𝑚∠ 4.
Step 3: Carry out the plan.
𝑚∠1 = 𝑚∠3 + 𝑚∠ 4.
132° = 85° + 𝑚∠ 4.
D. Solution: 132° − 85° = 𝑚∠ 4
47° = 𝑚∠ 4 or
𝑚 ∠4 = 47°
Step 4: Look back.
𝑚∠1 = 𝑚∠3 + 𝑚∠ 4.
E. Check your answer. 𝑚∠1 = 85° + 47°
𝑚∠1 = 132°
Final Answer: Therefore, 𝑚 ∠4 = 47° .
