	Triangle (Geometry) - LoveToKnow Watches
		TRIANGLE, in geometry, a figure enclosed by three lines; if the lines be straight the figure is called a plane triangle; but if the figure be enclosed by lines on the surface of a sphere it is a spherical triangle.
		The three sides and angles constitute the six elements of a triangle; it is customary to denote the angular points by capital letters and refer to the angles by these symbols; the sides are usually denoted by the lower case letter corresponding to that of the opposite angular point.
		We may here notice that the perpendiculars from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides are concurrent ; their meet is called the orthocentre, and the triangle obtained by joining the feet of the perpendiculars is called the pedal triangle.

	Triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three vertices and three sides which are straight line segments.
		A median of a triangle is a straight line through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side, and divides the triangle into two equal areas.
		The area S of a triangle is S = ½bh, where b is the length of any side of the triangle (the base) and h (the altitude) is the perpendicular distance between the base and the vertex not on the base.

		The sides of the triangle are labeled by lowercase letters, corresponding to the particular opposite vertex.
		An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all sides being equal.
		If two sides of a triangle are equal but different to the third side, this triangle is called an isosceles triangle.

		For instance, a triangle with no congruent sides is a scalene triangle; a triangle with two congruent sides is an isosceles triangle; a triangle with three congruent sides is an equilateral triangle.
		For instance, a triangle with three acute interior angles is an acute triangle; a triangle with one obtuse interior angle is an obtuse triangle; a triangle with one right interior angle is a right triangle; a triangle with three congruent interior angles is an equiangular triangle.
		One property of a triangle is that the sum of the measures of the three interior angles is always 180 degrees (or pi radians).

	Triangle
		The orthocenter lies inside the triangle if and only if the triangle is not obtuse.
		If any four of a triangle's elements (vertices, and/or elements of its sides) are plane to each other, the triangle is called plane.

		A triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (Fig.23), if the two of its sides are equal (a = c); these equal sides are called lateral sides, the third side is called a base of triangle.
		In an acute-angled triangle this point lies inside of the triangle; in an obtuse-angled triangle - outside of the triangle; in a right-angled triangle - in the middle of the hypotenuse.
		In a right-angled triangle a square of the hypotenuse length is equal to a sum of squares of legs lengths.

	Area of a Triangle
		However, depending on the triangle, the height may or may not be a side of the triangle.
		For example, in the right triangle in Example 2, the height is a side of the triangle since it is perpendicular to the base.
		In the triangles in Examples 1 and 3, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the base, so a dotted line is drawn to represent the height.

		Any triangle in a pencil of triangles can be referred to by its third vertex, the one not incident with the base of the pencil.
		These two reflections may be used to generate a total of four congruent triangles within the same pencil, as long as the third vertex of the initial triangle is not on either of the lines of reflection.

		When triangles are classified according to the lengths of their sides, they fit into one of three categories: scalene, isosceles, or equilateral.
		When triangles are classified by their angles, they fit into one of four categories: acute, obtuse, right, or equilateral.
		If a triangle has one obtuse angle (remember that one is the maximum number of obtuse angles a triangle can have), it is an obtuse triangle.
