	Triangle (Geometry) - LoveToKnow 1911
		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 (geometry) - MSN Encarta
		A capital letter is customarily used to designate a vertex of a triangle, the angle at that vertex, or the measure of the angle in angular units; the corresponding lower case letter designates the side opposite the angle or its length in linear units.
		Therefore, the three angles of a scalene triangle are of different sizes; the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal; and the three angles of an equilateral triangle are equal (an equilateral triangle is also equiangular).
		For example, the sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is between 180° and 540° and varies with the size and shape of the triangle.

	Triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a two-dimensional figure 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.

		In mathematics, plane geometry may mean: geometry of the Euclidean plane; or sometimes geometry of a projective plane, most commonly the real projective plane but possibly the complex projective plane, Fano plane or others; or geometry of the hyperbolic plane or two-dimensional spherical geometry.
		In spherical geometry, a square is a polygon whose edges are great circle arcs of equal distance, which meet at equal angles.
		Spherical geometry is the geometry of the two-dimensional surface of a sphere.

	PlanetMath: non-Euclidean geometry
		A non-Euclidean geometry is a geometry in which at least one of the axioms from Euclidean geometry fails.
		It is relatively easy to see that, in this geometry, given a line and a point not on the line, there are infinitely many lines passing through the point that are parallel to the given line.
		One final example of a non-Euclidean geometry is semi-Euclidean geometry, in which the axiom of Archimedes fails.

		The triangle inequality is the mathematical statement of the old adage, "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line." If you don't travel along the straight line, you travel two sides of a triangle, and that trip takes longer.
		Triangles are the only rigid polygon, which makes them quite useful for construction.
		If the three sides of one triangle have the same lengths as the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

		Students can compare the triangles on their geoboards and discuss whether or not each shape is actually a triangle.
		Some students may feel that a triangle with a vertex oriented toward the bottom of the geoboard is not really a triangle.
		Geoboard shapes can be described with a simple system of coordinate geometry; thus two shapes on a geoboard are also congruent if their constructions can be described in the same way.
