Details of Triangle and its Properties For SSC Exams

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry.In maths exam papers there are three or four question are given from this chapter.This type of problem are given in Quantitative Aptitude which is a very essential paper in SSC Exams

Definition of Triangle 

A triangle method in a geometry ,a triangle is one of the basic shapes in a polygon with three corners and vertices or three sides and edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted triangle ABC.

In other way , A triangle is a closed figure with three sides .It is a polygon with three sides and 3 vertices/corners. Learn about different triangles in details such as equilateral, isosceles, scalene triangles etc. 

• Based on Sides:

1.Equilateral triangle: A triangle where all three sides are equal is called an equilateral triangle. Each angle in this triangle = 60.  An equilateral triangle is also known as equi angles triangle.

2.Isosceles triangle: A triangle whose two and only two sides are equal is called an isosceles    triangle.  Two angles in this triangle are equal.

3.Scalene Triangle: A triangle whose all angles and sides are different is called Scalene triangle.

• Based on Angles:

1.  Acute angle triangle:  A triangle whose angles all less than 90 degrees is called acute angle triangle 

2. Right angle triangle: A triangle which has one angle equal to 90 degrees is called right angle triangle.

3. Obtuse angle triangle: A triangle which has an angle more than 90 degrees is called Obtuse angle triangle.

• External Angle of a triangle:

The exterior angle x is always equal to sum of the two remote internal angles. i.e.,∠x=∠a+∠b

If two triangles are similar, their sides, their altitudes, their medians are in the same ratio.  The mostly occur condition for similarity is AAA similarity.  

• AAA Similarity of the triangles*:

If all the three angles of a triangle is equal to the corresponding three angles of the other triangle, then both the triangles are similar.

If, ∠A = ∠D, ∠B = ∠E, ∠C = ∠F, then ΔABC ≈ ΔDEF 

Note: While applying the AAA similarity, always look for angles and their corresponding sides in two triangles in the same order.

• SAS condition of similarity:

If the two sides of a triangle is in proportion with the corresponding two sides of the other triangle and the included angle of one is equal to the included angle of the other, the triangles are similar. AB/DE=BC/ EF then ∠B=∠E  

 then ΔABC≈ΔDEF

Geometrical Concept part -2

TRIANGLES : Triangles are closed figures containing three angles and three sides.

General Properties of Triangles:

The sum of the two sides is greater than the third side: a + b > c, a + c > b, b + c > a

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°: In the triangle  ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

 Area of a Triangle:

•Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height=1/2 x a x h

•Area of a triangle= 1/2 bcsinA = 1/2ab sinC=1/2 acsinB

•Area of a triangle = abc/4R where R circumradius

•Area of a triangle= r x s where r inradius and s = (a+b+c)/2

REGULAR POLYGONS : A regular polygon is a polygon with all its sides equal and all its interior angles equal. All vertices of a regular lie on a circle whose center is the center of the polygon.

•Each interior angle of a regular polygon = 180(n-2)/n

•Sum of all the angles of a regular polygon = n x180(n- 2)/n = 180(n-2).

Quadrilateral: A quadrilateral is any closed shape that has four sides. The sum of the measures of the angles is 360°. Some of the known quadrilaterals are square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram and rhombus.

Square: A square is regular quadrilateral that has four right angles and parallel sides. The sides of a

square meet at right angles. The diagonals also bisect each other perpendicularly.

If the side of the square is a, then its

•Perimeter = 4a,

•Area = a^2 and the length of the diagonal = √2a

Rectangle: A rectangle is a parallelogram with all its angles equal to right angles.

•Area of a rectangle = length × breadth

•Perimeter = 2(sum of length and breath)

Parallelogram: A parallelogram is a quadrangle in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Any two opposite sides of a parallelogram are called bases, a distance between them is called a height.

•Area of a parallelogram = base × height

•Perimeter = 2(sum of two consecutive sides)

Rhombus: If all sides of parallelogram are equal, then this parallelogram is called a rhombus.

•Area of a rhombus = 1/2 product of diagonals

•Perimeter = 4a,

Trapezoid: Trapezoid is a quadrangle two opposite sides of which are parallel.

•Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(Sum of parallel sides)height

CIRCLE: A circle is a set of all points in a plane that lie at a constant distance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the center of the circle and the constant distance is known as the radius of the circle.

Arc: An arc is a curved line that is part of the circumference of a circle. A minor arc is an arc less than the semicircle and a major arc is an arc greater than the semicircle.

Chord: A chord is a line segment within a circle that touches 2 points on the circle.

Diameter: The longest distance from one end of a circle to the other is known as the diameter. It is

equal to twice the radius.

Circumference: The perimeter of the circle is called the circumference.

 •circumference = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

 •Area of a circle: Area = π x (radius)^2 = πr^2.

Sector: A sector is like a slice of pie (a circular wedge).

Area of Circle Sector: (with central angle θ) Area = θ/360 xπ x r^2

Length of a Circular Arc: (with central angle θ) The length of the arc = θ/360 x2π x r

Tangent of circle: A line perpendicular to the radius that touches ONLY one point on the circle

Cuboid: A parallelepiped whose faces are rectangular is called a cuboid. The three dimensions

associated with a cuboid are its length, breadth and height (denoted as l, b and h here.)

• The total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

• Volume of a cuboid = lbh

Cube: A cube is a parallelepiped all of whose faces are squares.

•Total surface area of the cube = 6a^2

• Volume of the cube = a^3

Right Circular Cylinder: A right circular cylinder is a right prism whose base is a circle.  the cylinder has a base of radius r and a height of length h.

•Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh

• Total surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr^2

• Volume of the cylinder = πr^2h

Right Circular Cone: a right circular cone is a pyramid whose base is a circle. In , the right circular cone has a base of radius r and a height of length h.

•Curved surface area of the cone = πrl

• Total surface area of the cone = πrl + πr^2

• Volume of the cone =1/3πr^2h

Sphere: A sphere is a set of all points in space which are at a fixed distance from a given point. The fixed point is called the centre of the sphere, and the fixed distance is the radius of the sphere.

•Surface area of a sphere = 4πr^2

• Volume of a sphere = 4/3πr^3
