- Concept of Triangles
- Relation Between Sides and Angles of Triangle
- If all the sides of a triangle are of different lengths, its angles are also of different measures in such a way that, the greater side has greater angle opposite to it.
- If all the angles of a triangle have different measures, its sides are also of different lengths in such a way that, the greater angle has greater side opposite to it.
- If any two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite to them are also equal. Conversely, if any two angles of a triangle are equal, the sides opposite to them are also equal.
- If all the sides of a triangle are equal, all its angles are also equal. Conversely, if all the angles of a triangle are equal, all its sides are also equal.
- If all the sides of a triangle are of different lengths, its angles are also of different measures in such a way that, the greater side has greater angle opposite to it.
- Important Terms of Triangle

- Centroid : The point of intersection of the medians is called the centroid of the triangle.
- Altitude : An altitude of a triangle, corresponding to any side, is the length of the perpendicular drawn from the opposite vertex to that side.

- Corollary 5 : In every triangle, at least two angles are acute.
- Corollary 6 : If two angles of a traingle are equal to two angles of any other triangle, each to each, then the third angles of both the triangles are also equal.
