Transversal
When 2 lines are cut by 3rd line, 3rd line is a transversal
Scalene Triangle
No equal sides & no equal angles
Isosceles Triangle
-2 equal sides
- If you know value of 1 equal side, you can find out value of all angles
Equilateral Triangle
- All sides & angles are equal
- Measure of each angle is 60
o
Right Triangle
The side opposite of the right angle is call hypotenuse
30-60-90 Triangle
- It is an equilateral triangle cut in middle
- The side opposite the 90
o
angle is always twice as long as the side opposite the 30
o
angle.
- The side opposite the 60
o
angle is always √3 times as long as the side opposite the 30
o
angle
45-45-90 Triangle
- Lives a double life: it is both an isosceles & right triangle
- The side opposite the 90
o
angle is always √2 times larger than the two equal sides that sit opposite the 45
o
angles
