Triangles 1st year P26 Chapter 4
Triangle All 3 angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees There are 3 types of triangles Equilateral Isosceles Scalene
3 different types of Triangles Equilateral All sides are the same Length and angles are 60 degrees
3 different types of Triangles Isosceles 2 sides are the same length
3 different types of Triangles Scalene All 3 sides different lengths Angles are all different sizes
How to construct an equilateral Triangle V Draw base line at given measurement. Either end of the line draw lines up at 60 degrees. Where they meet is the vertex
How to draw an Isosceles Triangle What do we know???? 2 sides are equal in length and 2 base angles are the same angle. Use vertically opposite angles to work out base angle Vertically opposite angle means the angle above the point is equal to the angle below 70 There if all angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees 180 - 70 110 ÷ 2 = 55 Base angles are 55 degrees each
