  • 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.
  • Important Terms of Triangle  
    • Median : The median of a triangle, corresponding to any side, is the line joining the mid-point of that side with the opposite vertex.

    • 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.

    • Orthocentre : The point of intersection of the altitudes of a triangle is called the orthocentre.

    • Corollary 1 : If one side of a triangle is produced, the exterior angle so formed is greater than each of the interior opposite angles.

    • Corollary 2 : A triangle cannot have more than one right angle.

    • Corollary 3 : A triangle cannot have more than one obtuse angle.

    • Corollary 4 : In a right angled triangle, the sum of the other two angles ( acute angles ) is 90°.

    • 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.

    • At each vertex of every polygon, Exterior angle + Interior angle = 180°.
