VertexVertex• The vertex of a triangle is any point at
which two sides are joined.– It is a corner of a triangle.
• There are 3 in every triangle
How to Name a TriangleHow to Name a Triangle• To name a triangle, simply draw a small
triangle followed by its vertices.– We usually try to name the vertices in
alphabetical order, when possible.• Example:
ABC
More Parts of TrianglesMore Parts of Triangles• If you were to extend the sides you will
see that more angles would be formed.• So we need to keep them separate
– There are three angles called interior angles because they are inside the triangle.
– There are three new angles called exterior angles because they lie outside the triangle.
Theorem 4.1: Triangle Sum TheoremTheorem 4.1: Triangle Sum Theorem• The sum of the measures of the interior
angles of a triangle is 180o.
mA + mB + mC = 180o
Example 3.2Example 3.2Solve for x and then classify the triangle
based on its angles.

Corollary to the Triangle Sum Corollary to the Triangle Sum TheoremTheorem• A corollary to a theorem is a statement that
can be proved easily using the original theorem itself.– This is treated just like a theorem or a postulate in
proofs.
• The acute angles in a right triangle are complementary.

legs.– The third side is called the base.

–If a triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular.
•Corollary to Theorem 4.7–If a triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral.
Example 3.12Solve for x and y.1.
Or…In order for a triangle to be equiangular, all angles must equal…
It does not matter which two sides you set equal to each other, just pick the pair that looks the easiest!

Altitudes of TrianglesAltitudes of Triangles
Lesson 3.4 ObjectivesLesson 3.4 Objectives• Identify a median, an altitude, and a
perpendicular bisector of a triangle. (G1.2.5)
• Identify a centroid of a triangle.• Utilize medians and altitudes to solve
for missing parts of a triangle. (G1.2.5)
• Identify the orthocenter of a triangle.
Perpendicular BisectorPerpendicular Bisector• A segment, ray, line, or plane that is perpendicular to
a segment at its midpoint is called the perpendicular bisector.
Triangle MediansTriangle Medians• A median of a triangle is a segment that does the
following:– Contains one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle,
and– Contains its other endpoint at the midpoint of the
opposite side of the triangle.
A

CD
CentroidCentroid• When all three medians are drawn in, they
intersect to form the centroid of a triangle.– This forms a point of concurrency which is defined as a
point formed by the intersection of two or more lines.
• The centroid happens to find the balance point for any triangle.
• In Physics, this is how we locate the center of mass.

Theorem 5.7: Concurrency of Medians of a Theorem 5.7: Concurrency of Medians of a TriangleTriangle• The medians of a triangle intersect at a point that is
two-thirds of the distance from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.– The centroid is 2/3 the distance from any vertex to the
opposite side.• Or said another way, the centroid is twice as far away from the
opposite angle as it is to the nearest side.

BP = BP = 22//33BFBF
CP = CP = 22//33CDCD

a) 6
b) SUb) 2
• Half of 4 is 2
c) RUc) 6
• 4 + 2 = 6
d) RWd) 12
e) TSe) 6
• 6 is 2/3 of 9
f) SVf) 3
• Half of 6, which is the other part of the median.
AltitudesAltitudes• An altitude of a triangle is the perpendicular
segment from a vertex to the opposite side.– It does not bisect the angle.– It does not bisect the side.
• The altitude is often thought of as the height.– While true, there are 3 altitudes in every triangle but only 1
height!
OrthocenterOrthocenter• The three altitudes of a triangle intersect at a point
that we call the orthocenter of the triangle.• The orthocenter can be located:
– inside the triangle – outside the triangle, or– on one side of the triangle

Area• The area of a figure is defined as “the amount of space inside the boundary of a flat (2-
dimensional) object”– http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/area.html
• Because of the 2-dimensional nature, the units to measure area will always be “squared.”– For example:
• in2 or square inches
• ft2 or square feet
• m2 or square meters
• mi2 or square miles
• The area of a rectangle has up until now been found by taking:• length x width (l x w)
• We will now change the wording slightly to fit a more general pattern for all shapes, and that is:• base x height (b x h)
• That general pattern will exist as long asthe base and height form a right angle.
– Or said another way, the base andheight both touch the right angle.
w
l
h
b
Area of a Triangle• The area of a triangle is found by taking one-half
the base times the height of the triangle.• Again the base and height form a right angle.
– Notice that the base is an actual side of the triangle, and…
– The height is nothing more than the altitude of the triangle drawn from the base to the opposite vertex.

Perimeter of a Triangle• The perimeter of a triangle is found by taking the sum of all three
sides of the triangle.– So basically you need to add all three sides together.
• The perimeter is a 1-dimensional measurement, so the units should not have an exponent on them.
