  Triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A perpendicular bisector of a triangle is a straight line passing through the midpoint of a side and being perpendicular to it, i.e.
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.

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of (The pure mathematics of points and lines and curves and surfaces) geometry: a two-dimensional figure with three (additional info and facts about vertices) vertices and three sides which are straight line segments.
Triangles can also be classified according to the size of their largest internal angle, described below using (A specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process) degrees of arc.

A scalene triangle is one in which all three angles are different.
In geometry it is shown that two triangles are congruent (i.e., are the same shape and size) if, in general, any three independent parts (sides or angles) of one are the same as the corresponding three parts of the other.
The triangle is the simplest of the polygons (i.e., it has the least possible number of sides).

The formula for the area of a triangle is developed here in relation to the formula for the area of a parallelogram (not in relation to the formula for the area of a rectangle).
Ensure that students realize that the area of the parallelogram is twice the area of the scalene triangle and that the area of the triangle is half of the area of the parallelogram.
Have students determine the area of each triangle by measuring base and height, etc. Have students identify the triangles that have the most and least areas from their triangles and come to a conclusion about the type of triangle that results in the most and least area.

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.
