The document defines and describes the different parts and types of triangles. It discusses the primary parts of a triangle including sides, angles, and vertices. It then describes the secondary parts such as the median, altitude, and angle bisector. The document outlines the different types of triangles according to their angles, including acute, obtuse, right, and equiangular triangles. It also defines triangle types according to their sides, such as scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles. In the end, it provides an activity to test the reader's understanding of these triangle concepts.

vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the
opposite sides.

AD -
BD = DC
10. Altitude
- is the perpendicular segment
drawn from one vertex of the triangle to
the line containing the opposite side.
Altitude - AC
11. Angle Bisector
- is the segment drawn from one
vertex and dividing the angle into two
congruent angles.
AP - Angle bisector
BAP = CAP

less than 90.
Examples:
50
70
60
59
66 55
15. Obtuse Triangle
- is a triangle with one of the angle
is more than 90.
Examples:
110

16. Right Triangle
- is a triangle
with one angle is
exactly 90.
- the longest side
is the hypotenuse and
the two sides are the
legs.
Example:
17. Equiangular Triangle
- is a triangle with all angles are
congruent.
