 Properties of Triangle
1. The sum of three angles of a triangle is 1800.
2. Interior angle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angle.
3. The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
4. If two sides of a triangle are equal then there opposite angles
are also equal.
5. If three sides of a triangle are equal then three angles of
triangles are also equal.
6. If two angles in a triangle are equal then the two sides are also
equal.
7. In right angle triangle sum of square of two sides is equal to the
square of third side.
8. If the square of one side is equal to the sum of square of other
two sides then the two sides are equal.
9. There are three medians of a triangle from three vertex.
10. There are three perpendiculars of a triangle from three vertex.
11. If we want to find centre of triangle we draw two perpendicular
bisector.
