Terminology

Right TriangleA triangle with one right angle (90 degrees).
HypotenuseThe longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.
LegEither of the two sides that form the right angle; relative to a given acute angle, they are the opposite leg and the adjacent leg.
Trigonometric RatioA ratio that relates the angles and the sides of a right triangle.
Obtuse angleAn angle measuring more than 90o but less than 180o.
Acute angle An angle measuring less than 90o.
Similar trianglesTriangles are similar if their 3 corresponding angles are equal and their 3 corresponding sides are proportional.
Congruent triangleTriangles are congruent if all their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
Scale factorThe ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of similar figures.
Isosceles triangle A triangle with two equal sides.
​
Equilateral triangleA triangle with three equal sides.
Trigonometric RatioA ratio that relates the angles and the sides of a right triangle.
Angle of elevationThe angle between the line of sight to an object and the horizontal ground in front of the observer.

Formulas

  • The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180o

Extension: The sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (number of sides - 2) ⨉ 180o

Where: A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height (altitude)

  • Equilateral triangle:

(s: side length)

⇒ A =

⇒ A =

  • Pythagorean theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Exterior angle of a triangle

180O

180O

⇒

The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360o

  1. Congruent triangles and similar triangles

When solving problems about congruent and similar triangles, the most important step is to identify the corresponding vertices

  1. Trigonometric ratios

Memory tip: SOH-CAH-TOA — sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse, cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, tan = Opposite/Adjacent
