1. The World Of Triangles

2. Triangles A triangle is a 3- sided polygon. Every triangle has three sides and three angles. When added together, the three angles equal 180°.

3. Right Triangles A right triangle is triangle with an angle of 90°.

4. Scalene Triangles A triangle with three unequal sides.

5. Isosceles Triangles An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides.

6. Equilateral Triangles An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides of equal length.

7. Congruent Triangles Congruent triangles are triangles whose corresponding angles and sides are congruent. They are exactly the same size and shape.

8. The Hypotenuse The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the triangle's longest side, i.e., the side opposite the right angle.

9. The Pythagorean Theorem For a right triangle with sides a and b and hypotenuse c, a 2 +b 2 =c 2.
