Properties of a Triangle
* The sum ofall the angles of a triangle = 180°
* The sum of lengths of the two sides > length
of the third side
* The difference of any two sides of any triangle
) Area of any triangle =
/s( = a)(s — B)(s = 6), where s is the semi-
perimeter of the triangle and a, b, and care the sides
of a triangle.

Besides, there are some formulae that we use ex
clusively in some particular cases.
Example 2 What is the number of distinct triangles
with integral valued sides and perimeter as 14?
(a) 6 (b) 5
(4 (4) 3
Solution The sum of the lengths of the two sides >
the length of the third side
So, the maximum length of any particular side can be
6 units.
Now, ifa = 6, then b + c= 8, then the possible sets are
(6, 6,2), (6,5, 3), and (6, 4, 4)
Ifa=5, then b + c=9, so the possible set is (5, 5,4).
So, the number of distinct triangles

2. Obtuse-angled Triang!
Ifone of the angles of the triangle is more than 90°,
then the triangle is known as an obtuse angled
triangle. Obviously, in this case, rest of the two angles
will be less than 90°.
3. Acute-angled Triangle
If.all the angles of the triangle are less than 90°, then
the triangle is known as acute angled triangle.
4. Isosceles Right-angled Triangle
Aright-angled triangle, whose two sides containing
the right angle are equal in length, is an isosceles
right tri angle.

Points of a Triangle
Before we move ahead to discuss diff erent points
inside a triangle, we need to be very clear about some
of the basic definitions
Basic Definitions
(i) Altitude (or height)
‘The perpendicular drawn from the opposite vertex of
a side in a triangle is called an altitude of the triangle.
There are three altitudes in a triangle.
LAS.
AF, CD, and BE are the altitudes.
(il) Median
The line segment joining the mid-point of a side to
the vertex opposite to the side is called a median.
There are three medians in a triangle. A median
bisects the area of the triangle. Area (ABE) = Area
(AEC) = 1 2 Area (ABC), ete.
A
LES.
AE, CD, and BF are the medians.
(BE=CE F = CF)
(iii) Angle bisector
A line segment that originates from a vertex and
bisects the same angle is called an angle bisector.
(ZBAE = ZCAE = 1/2 2BAC), ete.
A
B ©
AE, CD, and BF are the angle bisectors.
(iv) Perpendicular bisector
Aline segment which bisects a side perpendicularly
(ic.,at right angle) is called a perpendicular bisector
ofa side of triangle. All points on the perpendicular
bisector of a line are equidistant from the ends of the
line.B.
: Gs
DO, EO, and FO are the perpendicular bisectors.
Circumcentre
Circumcentre is the point of intersection of the three
perpendicular bisectors ofa triangle. The
circumcentre of a triangle is equidistant from its
vertices andthe distance ofthe circumcentre from
each of the three vertices is called circumradius (R)
of the triangle. These perpen dicular bisectors are diff
erent from altitudes, which are perpendiculars but
not necessarily bisectors of the side. The circle drawn.
with the circumcentre as the centre and circumradius
as the radius is called the circumcircle of the triangle
and it passes through all the three vertices of the
triangle.
The circumcentre of a right-angled triangle is the
midpoint ofthe hypotenuse ofa right-angled triangle

Incentre
Incentre is the point of intersection of the internal
bisectors of the three angles of a triangle. The
incentre is equidistant from the three sides of the
triangle, that is the perpendiculars drawn from the
incentre to the three sides are equal in length and are
called the inradius of the triangle.
The circle drawn with incentre as the centre and
inradius as the radius is called the incircle of the
triangle and it touches all the three sides from the
inside.

Important derivation In a right-angled triangle,
Inradius = Semiperimeter - length of Hypotenuse.
Euler's formula for inradius and
clrcumradius of a triangle Let 0 and I be the
circumcentre and incentre of a triangle with
circumradius R and inradius r. Let d be the distance
between 0 and |. Then
@=R(R-2r)
From this theorem, we obtain the inequality r> 2r,
This is known as Euler's inequality.

CentroidCentroid is the point of intersection of the three
medians of a triangle. The centroid divides each of
the medians in the ratio 2:1, the part of the median

Congruency of Triangles
Two figures are said to be congruent if, when placed
one over the other, they completely overlap each
other. They would have the same shape, the same
area and will be identical in all respects.
So, we can say that all congruent triangles are similar
triangles, but vice versa is not always true.
Rules for Two Triangles to be Congruent
as
fin any two triangles, each side of one triangle is
equal to a side of the other triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent. This rule is $ -S-S rule.
2.S-A-S
In. ABC and 4 ABD,
AB = AB (common side)
ZABC = Z BAD (given)
BC = AD (given)
‘Therefore, by rule S- A S, the two triangles are
congruent,
‘This rule holds true, when the angles that are equal
have to be included between the two equal sides (i.e,
the angle should be formed between the two sides
that are equal)
3.A-S-A
In ABC and 4 ADE,
ZACB = ZAED (given)
ZBAC = ZDAE (common angle)
BC = DE (given)
Therefore, by rule A- SA the two triangles are
congruent.
For this rule, the side need not be the included side,
A-S-Acan be written as A- A-SorS-A- Aalso.
4.R-H_-SThis rule is applicable only for right-
angled triangles. If two right-angled triangles have
their hypotenuse and one of the sides as same, then
the triangles will be congruent.
Similarity of the Triangles
If we take two maps of India of diff erent sizes
(breadths and lengths), then the map of all the 29
states of India will cover proportionally the same
percentage area in both the maps.
Lets see this in geometry:
Criteria for Similarity of Two Triangles
8 c a R
‘Two triangles are similar if (i) their corresponding
angles are equal and/or (ii) their corresponding sides
are in the same ratio. That is, ifin two triangles, ABC
and PQR,
(i) 2A=2P, 2B=2Q 2C= ZR, and/or
AB _ BC _ CA
(ii) So = = the two triangles are similar.
PQ” OR” RP’
All regular polygons of the same number of sides
such as equilateral triangles or squares, are similar.
In particular, all circles are also similar.
Theorems for Similarity
1. __If'in two triangles, the corresponding angles
are equal, then their corresponding sides will also beproportional (Le, in the same ratio). Therefore, the
two triangles are similar.
This property is referred to as the AAA similarity
criterion for two triangles.
Corollary: If two angles of a triangle are,
respectively, equal to two angles of another triangle,
then the two triangles are similar. This is referred to
as the AA similarity criterion for the two triangles. It
is true due to the fact that if two angles of one
triangle are equal to the two angles of another tri
angle, then the third angle of both the triangles will
automatically be the same.
2, Ifthe corresponding sides of two triangles are
proportional (ie, in the same ratio), their correspond
ing angles will also be equal and so the triangles are
similar. This property is referred to as the SSS
similarity criterion for the two triangles.
3.1f one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of the
other and the sides including these angles are
proportional, then the triangles are similar. This
property is referred to as the SAS similarity crit
of the two triangles.
4, The ratio of the areas of the two similar triangles
is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corre
sponding sides.
5. Ifa perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the
right angle of a right-angled triangle to the
hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the
perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to
each other.

touch each other externally. IfP is the point of
intersection of the tangents to these circles at their
point of contact, find the distance of P from the point
of contacts of the circles.
Solution Let A,B, and Che the centres of the three

ABC and distance of P from the point of contacts of
the circles will be the inradius (r).
