Perimeter of non right angled triangle?

The perimeter of a triangle is simply the sum of the lengths of its three sides. Knowing that it is right angles (or not) is rarely of help.


Why do you think non-right triangles don't uphold the Pythagrean therom?

First of all, it is clear that a right angled triangle does conform to Pythagoras. So, take any rightangled triangle, and without changing the length of the small sides, slightly reduce the right-angle to something smaller. What was the hypotenuse is now smaller than it was, so its square is now smaller. But the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides hasn't changed. So the Pythagoras result does not work for this new situation.


How do l work out the area of a triangle?

A right triangle is easy, simply multiply the two sides and divide by two. A non-right triangle is a bit more of a challenge. You have to make it a right triangle by adding a right triangle to it. Calculate and then subtract the area of what you had to add.


What are all the diffent kinds of triangle?

right triangle - has one 90° angle Pythagorean triangle - right triangle whose side lengths are all integers oblique triangle - has no 90° angle acute triangle - each angle is less than 90° obtuse triangle - one angle is greater than 90° equilateral triangle - angles are 60°-60°-60° isosceles triangle - has two equal angles scalene triangle - has three different angles rational triangle - all side lengths are rational integer triangle - all side lengths are integers Heronian triangle - all side lengths and area are integers equable triangle - has a perimeter of n units and and area of n square units degenerate triangle - angles are 0°-0°-180° planar triangle - a triangle drawn on a flat surface (plane) non-planar triangle - a triangle drawn on a curved surface spherical triangle - a non-planar triangle on a convex surface, like the Bermuda Triangle hyperbolic triangle - a non-planar triangle on a concave surface
