Triangle Facts, Theorems, and Laws

A triangle is a polygon that has three vertices. A vertex is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet; in the case of a triangle, the three vertices are joined by three line segments called edges.

Pythagorean Theorem

For any right triangle: a² + b² = c²

Given a = 3, c = 5, find b:

3² + b² = 5² → 9 + b² = 25 → b² = 16 → b = 4

Law of Sines

a / sin(A) = b / sin(B) = c / sin(C) = 2R

Given b=2, B=90°, C=45°, find c:

2/sin(90°) = c/sin(45°) → c = 2 × (√2/2) × (1/1) = √2

Law of Cosines

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos(A)

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cos(B)

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C)

Area Calculations

Base and height: Area = 1/2 × b × h

Two sides and included angle: Area = 1/2 × a × b × sin(C)

Heron's formula: Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where s = (a+b+c)/2
