21/05_Triangles

I have decided to write a specific post about the interesting properties of the triangle, the different types we can find and some examples we can find in the real world. The triangle is a geometric figure of three sides that create three angles between them. Let’s summarise. The different elements of the triangle are: Vertices: They are points where two or more line segments meet. Corners. Sides: they are the line segments that create this closed figure. Angles: is the space (usually measured in degrees) between two intersecting lines where they meet. We are going to see it better in an image:   Fun fact! The three angles always add to 180º, for this reason, we consider triangles as very special figures. There are different ways to classify triangles. Let’s see them: By the measure of the segments: Equilateral: three equal sides. Angles are consequently equal, always 60º. Isosceles: two equal sides with two equal angle Scalene: ther
