Slide 6 / 232 Slide 7 / 232 Geometric Figures Geometric Figures Definition 19. Rectilinear figures are those which are contained by Definition 13. A boundary is that which is an extremity of anything. straight lines, trilateral figures being those contained by three, quadrilateral those contained by four, and multilateral those Definition 14. A figure is that which is contained by any boundary contained by more than four straight lines. or boundaries. Euclid now makes the transitions to geometric figures, which are created by a boundary which separates space His definitions from 15 to 18 relate to circles, which we will discuss into that which is within the figure and that which is not. later. In this chapter, we will be discussing triangles, which are an example of a rectilinear figure: a figure bounded by straight lines. A triangle is bounded by three lines. Slide 8 / 232 Slide 9 / 232 Parts of a Triangle 1 The letter on this triangle that corresponds to a side is: Each triangle has three sides and three vertices. A Each vertex is where two sides meet. A pair of sides and the vertex define an angle, so each triangle C includes three angles. Write "side" next to each side and circle the vertices on the triangle below.

Slide 20 / 232 Slide 21 / 232 Classifying Triangles Types of Triangles In general, a triangle can have sides of all different lengths and angles Definition 20: Of trilateral figures, an equilateral triangle is that which of all different measure. has its three sides equal, an isosceles triangle is that which has two of its sides alone equal, and a scalene triangle is that which has its However, there are names given to triangles which have specific or three sides unequal special angles or some number of equal sides or angles. Triangles can be classified by their sides or by their Euclid defined the names for a number of these in his definitions. angles. In this definition, Euclid used the sides. In his next definition, Euclid uses the angles. Slide 22 / 232 Slide 23 / 232 Classifying Triangles Classifying Triangles Acute Triangles Definition 21: Further, of trilateral figures, a right-angled triangle is In an acute triangle, every angle of a triangle is acute. that which has a right angle, an obtuse-angled triangle is that which has an obtuse angle, and an acute-angled triangle is that which has Definition 21: "... an acute-angled triangle is that which has its its three angles acute. three angles acute." We will draw from both definitions, since in several cases both Notice that no angle is equal to or definitions apply to the same triangle. greater than 90º in this triangle. Slide 24 / 232 Slide 25 / 232 Classifying Triangles Classifying Triangles Right Triangles Isosceles Triangles A right triangle has one right angle and two acute angles. An isosceles triangle has at least two sides with equal length. Definition 21: "... a right-angled triangle is that which has a right angle..." The angles opposite those equal sides are of equal measure. Notice that one angle is 90º, which means that the other two sum to 90º; and they are acute. Definition 20: "...an isosceles triangle is that which has two of its sides alone equal..." The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are called the legs. x º x º
