What is Triangle?

 What is Triangle?

As we discussed in the introduction, a triangle is a type of polygon, which has three sides, and the two sides are joined end to end is called the vertex of the triangle. An angle is formed between two sides. This is one of the important parts of geometry.Some major concepts, such as Pythagoras theorem and trigonometry, are dependent on triangle properties. A triangle has different types based on its angles and sides. 

Shape of Triangle

Triangle is a closed two-dimensional shape. It is a three-sided polygon. All sides are made of straight lines. The point where two straight lines join is the vertex. Hence, the triangle has three vertices. Each vertex forms an angle.

Formula:

Perimeter of Triangle

A perimeter of a triangle is defined as the total length of the outer boundary of the triangle. Or we can say, the perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of all its three sides. The unit of the perimeter is same as the unit of sides of the triangle. 

Perimeter = a + b + c unit

Area of a Triangle

The area of a triangle is the region occupied by the triangle in 2d space. The area for different triangles varies from each other depending on their dimensions. We can calculate the area if we know the base length and the height of a triangle. It is measured in square units.

Area = 1/2 × b × h sq.unit
