Taru: tdy we’ll be giving a quick recap on wat ever we’ve studied abt triangles so far.
Now Yazhini will start by explain abt few terms related to Triangle
Yazhini: Here are some terms related to triangles:
Centroid
The point where the three medians of a triangle meet
Orthocenter
The orthocenter is the intersection point of the altitudes
Incenter
The incenter of a triangle is the point at which the three angle bisectors intersect.
Excenter
An excenter of a triangle is the point where the bisector of an interior angle meets the bisectors of
the two exterior angles on the opposite side.
Circumcenter
The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is the circumcenter
Circumcircle
The circumcircle of a triangle is a circle that passes through all three vertices.
Incircle
The incircle of a triangle is the largest circle that can be drawn inside a triangle, touching all three
sides of the triangle
Excircle
An excircle, also known as an escribed circle, is a circle that touches one side of a triangle and the
extensions of the other two sides.
Inradius
The inradius of a triangle is the radius of the incircle, which is the largest circle that can fit inside a
triangle
Now taru will continue with the properties of triangle
Taru:
The properties of the triangle are:
• The sum of all the angles of a triangle (of all types) is equal to 180°.
• The sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third
side.
• In the same way, the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of
the third side.
• The side opposite the greater angle is the longest side of all the three sides of a triangle.
• The exterior angle of a triangle is always equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.
This property of a triangle is called an exterior angle property.
• Congruency:
two triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are equal in length and their
corresponding angles are equal in measure
Criteria
Side-Side-Side (SSS)
All three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of the other triangle
Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
Two angles of one triangle are equal to two angles of another triangle, and the side between
the two angles in one triangle is equal to the side between the two angles in the other
triangle
Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
Two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of another triangle, and the angle between
the two sides in one triangle is equal to the angle between the two sides in the other
triangle
Right Angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS)
The hypotenuse and a side of one right-angled triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and a
side of another right-angled triangle
Similarity:
Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different sizes, and their
corresponding angles and sides are proportional
• AAA criterion (Angle-Angle-Angle criterion)
• AA criterion (Angle-Angle criterion)
• SSS criterion (Side-Side-Side criterion)
• SAS Criterion (Side-Angle-Side criterion)
Now let us discuss few theorems and formulas related to triangle
Mid pt theorem: the line segment that joins the midpoints of any two sides is parallel to the third
side and is half its length
Apollonius theorem:
Apollonius theorem states that the sum of the squares of any two sides of any triangle equals twice
the square on half the third side, together with twice the square on the median bisecting the third
side.
Yazhini:
Herons Formula:
Heron's formula is for finding the area of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides. In symbols, if
a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides: Area = Square root of√s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) where s is half the
perimeter, or (a + b + c)/2.
Area of equilateral triangle:
√3/4 × (side)2
Area of Isosceles triangle:
b/4 × √(4a2 − b2 )
Height of equilateral triangle:
√3/2 × (side)
Formula to calculate Inradius:

Ar(triangle)/Semi-perimeter
Formula to calculate area when of the triangle when the lengths of the medians is given:
Ar(triangle)=4/3(area of tri formed by medians)
Formula to calculate area of tri formed by medians when lengths of the side are given:
(area of tri formed by medians)
(area of tri formed by medians)= 3/4Ar(triangle)
Basic Propotionality theorem:
The Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) states that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and
intersects the other two sides, then the line divides those sides in proportion.
Area of similar triangle:
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of
the ratio of their corresponding sides
Taru:
Menelau’s theorem:
Ceva’s theorem:
Consider a tri ABC with a point o lies inside the triangle AO,BO,CO touches the sides BC,AC,AB at pts
D,E,F respectively then
Stewarts Theorem:
Stewart's theorem states the relation between the lengths of the sides and the length of a cevian in a
triangle.
M-N Theorem
