Polygons Kinds of Triangles According to Angle Measure

Polygon - a closed plane figure whose sides are segments. 1. Acute Triangle – A triangle with three acute interior angles.
Tri – a prefix which means “three” Illustration:
Triangle - a three sided polygon . Acute angles:
- The sum of its interior angle is equal to 180°. Angle A, Angle B and Angle C
vertex - a corner point.
- It is the intersection point of two sides of a
polygon.
2. Right Triangle – a triangle with a right angle (90°).
- It is a point where two sides meet.
Illustration:
- a symbol which is read as triangle.
- tick symbol
- a symbol use to indicate equal or congruent sides of a polygon
Kinds of Triangles According to Length of each Side
1. Equilateral Triangle – a triangle where all sides are of equal
In a right triangle, take note of the following:
length.
o The longest side is called hypothenuse and it is opposite
Illustration:
the right angle.
o The hypothenuse in the given figure is side AC
AB = BC = AC o The two shorter sides are called legs. The legs are sides
AB and BC
o The angles opposite the legs are acute angles.
2. Isosceles Triangle - a triangle with two sides of equal length. 3. Obtuse Triangle – a triangle with one obtuse angle.
Illustration Illustration:
OD = OC
OD and OC are called “legs” The obtuse angle in ABC is angle
CD is the base B/Angle ABC/Angle CBA
Quadrilaterals
Vertex Angle – The angle opposite the base. Quadrilateral – a four sided polygon
Base Angles – The angles opposite the legs - has four vertices and four angles.
3. Scalene Triangle – a triangle where all sides are of different - can be named using its vertices in a clockwise or
lengths.
counter clockwise direction starting from any
Illustration:
vertex.
AB ≠ AC ≠ BC - sum of the interior angles is equal to 360°
Diagonal - a segment joining two opposite vertices of a
polygon.
- It divides a quadrilateral into two triangles.
