  4. the properties of a right angled triangle are it contains an hyp, opposite and adjacent, hyp being the longest side. to fine the angles or sides of the triangle, you can use the sin, cos or tan ratios.(soh cah toa)

    ReplyDelete
  5. for the non right angled triangles, you can use the sin or cosine rule, to find sides and angles.

    ReplyDelete
  6. for the right angled triangles you can also use pythagoras' theorem to sole sides.

  7. two types of triangles are right angles and non-right angle triangles. a right angle triangle as the word says contains a right angle and a non-right angle has no right angle.in a right angle triangle we can use pythogaras' theorem to find out the value one side once the other two sides are known.

  8. triangles must add up to 180 degrees. the 2 types are right angles and non right angles. the right angle triangle must have a ninety degree angle and the other two must add up to ninety to make up 180.

    ReplyDelete
  9. the right angle triangle uses pythagoras' theorem and the non right angle must be evaluated before an actual rule can be determined for solving problems

  12. 2 types of triangles are the equilateral and isosceles triangle

    ReplyDelete
  13. in a equilateral triangle all 3 sides and angles are equal with the value of each angle being 60 degrees

    ReplyDelete
  14. in an isosceles triangle 2 sides and angles are equal

    ReplyDelete
  15. the area of both triangles can be found by using the formula 1/2 ab sinC where a and b are lengths of two sides and C is the angle formed where these lengths meet

    ReplyDelete
  16. for example:
    if a triangle is right-angled, and it contains an adjacent side and an opposite side(ie.side opposite the angle),of known values, you can use pythagoras' theorem to find the hyp.
    or if you wanted to find the angle, you could use the ratio tan multiplied by the unknown angle (tata)=opp/adj. just substitute the values and solve.

  17. there are two types of triangles.
    (1) right angled triangles
    (2) non right angle trangles

    properties of "right angle triangles"
    a right angle triangle one of the angle is always 90degrees.and sides an be found using phythagoras' theorm while the oher angle can be foung using the ratio.

    in the "non right angle triange"
    the three angle will vary ang to find the sides or the angles the sine or cosine rule can be used. the sine rule can be used when given either (1) two angle and one side
    (2) two sides and a non-included angle
    the cosine rule can be used when given either
    (1) the three sides
    (2) two sides and the included angle

  18. **Starr**,

    Although you are right that there is the equilateral and the isosceles triangle, wouldn't that also mean that we have to count the scalene as a type?

    Since we are asked about two types, maybe we should divide them where there are two and only two groups: Right Angled and Non-Right Angled

    ReplyDelete
  19. Right Angled and Non-Right Angled triangles they are the two types of triangles an wit right angle triangles u can use the pythagoras therom and for none right angle triangles u can use sine rule an cosine rule

  23. the properties of a right angled triangle is that it contains an hypotenuse, opposite, and
    adjacent,the hypotenuse being the longest side. to fine the angles or sides of a right angle triangle, you can use the soh cah toa (sin tata=opp/hyp, cos tata=adj/hyp, tan tata=opp/adj)or you can use pythagoras theorem. For the non right angled triangles you can use either the sin or cosine rule to find sides and angles. the sin rule is ued when you ave two sides and an angle (NOTE:the angle not formed between the two sides(SSA)) or two angles and a side (NOTE:side not found between the two angles(AAS)), and the cosine rule is used when you have three sides and no angles (SSS) or two sides and an angle (NOTE: not the same as sine rule, the angle is found in between the two sides (SAS)).

  24. Two types of triangles is (1.)a right angle triangle and (2.)an acute triangle.

    ReplyDelete
  25. A right angle triangle is a triangle with a right angle (i.e. 90°). there are 3 sides: hyp,opp and adj. the hyp is the longest side,sin,cos or tan could be used to find wanted sides of the triangle.

  26. Example: A right triangle has one other angle that is 35º. What is the size of the third angle?

    Solution:

    Step 1:A right triangle has one angle = 90°. Sum of known angles is 90° + 35º = 125°.

    Step 2:The sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180º. Subtract sum of known angles from 180°. 180° – 125° = 55°

    Answer:The size of the third angle is 55°

    ReplyDelete
  27. An acute triangle is a triangle whose angles are all acute (i.e. less than 90°). Example: A triangle has angles 46º, 63º and 71º. What type of triangle is this?

    Answer: Since all its angles are less than 90°, it is an acute triangle.

  30. right angle triangles uses pythagoras' theorem
    i.e. In a right angle triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides

    a^2 = b^2 + c^2

    ReplyDelete
  31. The sine rule: a/Sine A = b/Sine B = c/Sine C
    NB. a is the side opposit angle A
    b is the side opposit angle B
    c is the side opposit angle C
    You can use the sine rule when:
    1. Two angles and any given side
    2. Two sides and and angle not between them are
    given

    ReplyDelete
  32. The cosine rule: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc Cos A
    You can use the cosine rule when:
    1. Two sides and included angle is given
    2. Three sides are given

  34. The rule which applies to right angled triangles is where you use Pythagoras' theorem to find the lengths of the sides either using sin, cos, tan.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The rule which applies to non-right angled triangles is using either the cosine or sine rule to determine the lengths.

  40. the two kinds of triangles are;right angle and non-right angle triangles....for the right angle triangle pythagoras theorem can be used to solve the lenghts of the each side ...sin,cos and tan ratios can be used to find both the lenghts of each side and their angles where they meet.....a right angle triangle obviously has a right angle/ 90 degree angle....

    ReplyDelete
  41. as for the non-right angle triangle it has no 90 degree angle/right angle....its sides and the angle they produce when they meet can be solve using either the sine rule or the cosine rule....

    ReplyDelete
  42. a right angle trinagle has a angle which is 90 degrees it has two other angles the sum of the angles must be equal to 180 degrees. the angles and lenghts of the sides can be determine by using the sine ratio, cosine ratio and tangent ratio. you can also use pythagoras' theorem to solve.

    ReplyDelete
  43. in a non- right angle trinagle you dont have an angle benig of 90 degrees but the angles and sides are found using the cosine rule and sine rule

  55. Two types of triangles are an equilateral triangle and a scalene triangle. An equilateral triangle has all of its sides equal each of angle 60 degrees adding up to 180 degrees. A scalene triangle has not of its sides equal but add up to 180 degrees. These triangles use the cosine and sine rule....

  56. two types of triangles are right angled triangles and non right angled triangles.
    right angle triangles (which can be isosceles right angled or scalene right angled):
    a right angled triangle has one 90deg angle

    in the "non right angle triange"
    the three angle will vary ang to find the sides or the angles the sine or cosine rule can be used.

    if you know all three sides: use the law of cosines and plug in the values for the sides a, b, and c. solve for angle a. use the angle value with the law of sines to find angle b. use the sum of the angles with the two angles to find angle c.

    if you know two sides and the angle between them:
    use the law of cosines and plug in the values for the sides b, c, and the angle a. solve for side a. use the angle value with the law of sines to find angle b. use the sum of the angles with the two angles to find angle c.

    if you know two angles and any side:
    use the sum of the angles with the two angles to find the third angle. use the law of sines and plug in the values for the two angles and the side. solve for the side. use the law of sines with an angle, the side opposite it, and the angle opposite the side you still don't know to find that side.

  58. two types of triangles are the equilateral and isosceles triangle. in the isosceles triangle 2 sides and angles are equal and in the equilateral triangle all sides and angles are equal.

    ReplyDelete
  59. IN RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLES:

    The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. The other two sides are the legs of the triangle (adjacent/ opposite). Right triangles obey the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse: a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Special right triangles are right triangles with additional properties that make calculations involving them easier.

    ReplyDelete
  60. For non-right angle triangles the cosine and sine rule is used

    Sine rule:

  109. Right Angle Triangles
    A right triangle is a triangle with a right angle (i.e. 90°).

    You may have noticed from your experience with right angle triangles in mumz maths class that the side opposite the right angle is always the triangle's longest side. It is called the hypotenuse of the triangle. The other two sides are called the legs. The lengths of the sides of a right triangle are related by the Pythagorean Theorem ie. a^2 = b^2 + c^2. lengths and angles can also be found in right angle triangles using the following equation
    - sin @= opp/hpy
    - tan @= opp/adj
    - cos @= adj/hpy

    ReplyDelete
  110. Non-Right Angle Triangles
    Any triangles other than right angle triangles are considered to be non-right angle triangles.

    finding either lengths or angles on these triangles can be found by using either of the following methods:
    - sine rule
    ie. a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
    - cosine rule
    1e. a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2(b)(c)cosA

    ReplyDelete
  111. Hey there are some bloggers who have the sine rule WRONG!!!!!!! you guys have:
    sina/sinA = sinb/sinB = sinc/sinC
    it is soooooooooo wrong to do this...since you will be finding the sine of a length(sina) which is not possible since you can only find the sine of an angle.

    For each type state the properties or rules that can be applies.
    Illustrate with examples

  142. yes
    all triangles are made of 3 side an 3 angles

    A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted ABC.

  145. right angle triangles and non- right angle triangles.
    for right angle triangles,
    the following applies.
    sin=opp/hyp.
    this applies when you have a right angled triangle, and need to find either the unknown angle or an unknown side. such "side" can only include the hypotenuse (side opposite the right angle)
    or the opposite side to the angle given that is not right the right angle.

    if the angle is not given, cross multiply the formula to find it.

  146. cos=adj/hyp.
    this is used to find either the adjacent side.....adjacent here relative to the angle given that is not the right angle.....
    Or it can be used to find the hypotenuse.

    If the angle is not give, and needs to be found....this formula can be used to solve for it....given the both sides required to do so is given

  147. tan=opp/adj.
    this can be used to find the opposite side, speaking in terms of the angle given, or the adjacent side, also speaking in terms of the angle given.
    if the angle needs to be found, use this same formula to find it by cross-multiplying.

  148. for a right angle triangle, Pythagoras' theorem is also applicable.
    this is basically states
    h^2= x^2 + y^2
    where h is the hypotenuse
    x is any other side
    and
    y is the remaining side.
    this is used primarily to find lengths and not angles like in the rules listed above.

  149. non right angled triangles include:
    scalene
    isosceles
    obtuse
    equilateral.

  150. in non right angled triangles, the following rule is applicable.
    a^2=b^2 + c^2 - 2bc Cos A.
    this is called the cosine rule,
    where a is the unknown side that needs to be found,
    b and c are known lengths on the triangle,and
    A is the angle given.

  151. note that the triangle is labeled like this.

    when the triangle is labeled, its vertexes are in capitals. for example triangle ABC or triangle XYZ.
    the sides are labeled in the common letter of the opposite vertex.
    for example,
    in triangle ABC,
    the side opposite vertex A will be called a, instead of AB, etc.

  153. in right angle triangle sin,cos, tan and pythagoras theorem are uesed only

  154. for non right angle triangles the following rule is applicable.
    a/Sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C
    this is called the sine rule.
    where the numerator is a side/length on the given triangle, and the denominator is the respective angle.
    it can be used to find an angle, given two lengths.
    it can be used to find a length given 2 angles.
    cross multiply and solve.

  155. to fine the area of a non right angled triangle,
    use the formula 1/2 ab Sin C.
    where a and b are lengths of the triangle and C is a given angle.

    ReplyDelete
  156. to find the area of a non- right angled triangle use the formula b*h/2.
    where b is the base of the triangle
    where h is the perpendicular height of the triangle.
