What is the area of the triangle whose three side lengths are 1, 2 and 3 units respectively?
Triangle is not possible. Or, mathematically, we should say area of triangle is zero.
So question arises, what is the condition on lengths of sides of a triangle to con rm that a triangle is possible.
Just lay down the longest side as base of the triangle. Now remaining two sides should not overlap on base. So, for this reason, sum of those
other two side lengths of the triangle should be greater than longest side of the triangle.
Triangle Inequality: If a, b, c are the side lengths of a triangle then sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than third side i.e. a + b > c, b + c >
a and c + a > b
Also difference of two sides is always less than third side of triangle
i.e. a – b < c, b – c < a and c – a < b
I know that you know almost all of these formulae already. But target here is to analyze them more deeply. If I ask you under what conditions the
area of the triangle becomes maximum, can you think a way out?
A line segment joining mid-point of a side of a triangle with opposite vertex is known as MEDIAN.
All the three medians divided the triangle in six equal area triangles.
Each angle bisector of the triangle divides the opposite side in the ratio of the sides containing the angle. (Angle Bisector Theorem)
All three angle bisectors meet at a point which is known as INCENTER i.e. center of inscribed circle.
INCENTER is a point inside the triangle which is equidistant from three sides.
INCENTER is center of inscribed circle of the triangle which touches all the three sides of the triangle.
Perpendicular bisector is a line which divides a side of the triangle in two equal halves perpendicularly.
All the three perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect at a common point which is known as CIRCUMCENTER.
CIRCUMCENTER is center of circumscribed circle of the triangle which passes through all the three vertices.
EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE
RIGHT TRIANGLE
There are two special cases of right triangles: 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 as shown. Note the ratio of their sides.
Congruent Triangles
The two triangles, whose any three corresponding parameters (out of three sides and three angles) are identical are same to be congruent.
There are three exceptions to this rule and they are AAA, SSA and ASS.
Similar Triangles
Sides opposite to equal sides are said to be proportional sides and ratio of proportional sides is same. Area of two similar triangles is in the ratio
of square of ratio of corresponding sides.
Inradius (r) is radius of the incircle inscribed in a triangle which touches all the sides of the triangle.
Circumradius (R) is radius of circumcircle passing through all the vertices of triangle.
If b, c are two sides of triangle and h is the altitude drawn from vertex common to b and c, then R = bc/2h.
