Based on sides, triangles have been classified into three categories:
Triangles are also divided into three classes on the basis of measure of the interior angles:
Example.1 In ΔABC, AB = 9, BC = 10, AC = 12. Find the length of median through A.
- In the adjacent figure AD is the required median. Using
- Apollonius theorem in the triangle we have,
2AD2 + 2(5)2 = 81+ 144 .
2AD2 + 50 = 225
Example.2 The sides of the triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm. Find the area, Inradius and Circumradius of the triangle.
- s =
In an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal and all the angles are equal.
(a) Altitude =
(b) Area =
(c) Inradius =
(d) Circumradius =
The Tests for Congruency:
(a) SAS Test: Two sides and the included angle of the first triangle are respectively equal to the two sides and included angle of the second triangle.
(b) SSS Test: Three sides of one triangle are respectively equal to the three sides of the other triangle.
(c) ASA Test: Two angles and one side of one triangle are respectively equal to the two angles and one side of the other triangle.
(d) RHS Test: The hypotenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and one side of another right-angled triangle.

Test for Similarity of Triangles:
(a) AAA Similarity Test: Three angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the three corresponding angles of the other triangle.
(b) SAS Similarity Test: The ratio of two corresponding sides is equal and the angles containing the sides are equal.
(c) SSS Similarity Test: The ratio of all the three corresponding side of the two triangles are equal.
