Solution

Determining the important lines in a triangle.

A triangle is a form of a polygon having three sides, as well as the point where the two sides meet is known as the triangle's vertex. Triangles have the following properties:

  • A sum of the triangle's angles equals180°.
  • The triangle's outside angles sum up to 360°.
  • The shortest side of a triangle is always opposite the smallest angle.

Altitude: Line up parallel to a side and through the opposing corner.
Bisector of an angle: The line from a corner that divides the angle in half.
Median: A line from one corner to the other side's middle.
Bisector perpendicular: At right angles to the midpoints of each side, draw a line.

Hence, The triangle is produced when three straight line segments bind a piece of the plane. These line segments were known as the triangle's sides.
