The sum of any two lengths of a triangle will always be _____ than 60*the third side.
greater than
How to find the third same of triangle (largest and smallest)
Largest = Side 1 + Side 2 Smallest = Side 2 - Side 1, where Side 2 is bigger
Smallest
Isosceles triangle
Two equal sides and two equal angles
Equilateral triangle
Three equal sides and all angles equal 60°
Area of a triangle
1/2 base * height
Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for right triangles only
Common combinations for Pythagorean theorem
3-4-5 5-12-13 6-8-10 8-15-17 9-12-15 12-16-20 10-24-26
Properties of isosceles right triangle
90° - 45° - 45° (hypotenuse - leg - leg)
x*sqrt(2) - x - x
sqrt(2) - 1 - 1
30 - 60 - 90 triangle
30° - 60°- 90°
short - long - hypotenuse
1 - sqrt(3) - 2
x - x*sqrt(3) - 2x
