Interesting Triangle Facts :)


    Triangles are polygons with the least possible number of sides (three).

    The three internal angles of a triangle always add to 180 degrees.

    An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length and three equal angles.

    An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length and two equal angles.

    A scalene triangle has no sides of equal length and no equal angles.

    A right angle triangle has one angle that is 90 degrees.

    An obtuse triangle has one angle larger than 90 degrees.

    An acute triangle has angles that are all less than 90 degrees.

    The longest side of a right angle triangle is called the hypotenuse, it is always found opposite the right angle.

    Trigonometry is the study of the relationship between the angles of triangles and their sides.

    Triangle shapes are often used in construction because of their great strength.
