Because it can be arranged in a triangle. Think of a set of Bowling pins. 1 followed by 2 followed by 3 followed by 4
1, 3, 6 and 10 (the totals including each row) are the first four triangle numbers.
A triangular number or triangle number counts the objects that can form an equilateral triangle. 10 objects can be formed into an equilateral triangle.
36 is both a square number and a triangle number as it is:6x6=36andthe square numbers are:1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45,55, 66, 78.xx
28 is a triangle number. The 28th triangle number is 406.
Yes, and it would have to be a right angled triangle as the sides are in ratio 3:4:5 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2 . Good old Pythagoras!
The third triangle number is 6.

No but 10 and 15 are :D

That depends on what is meant by length of AD but the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are all equal in lengths.
28 is a triangle number. The 28th triangle number is 406.
If I remember correctly, the triangle numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15... It is like racking up billiard balls or bowling pins. If the first number is 1, then the 3rd number is 6.
The third triangle number is 6.
Yes, and it would have to be a right angled triangle as the sides are in ratio 3:4:5 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2 . Good old Pythagoras!
it is an acute triangle.
496 triangles in a 10 x 10 x 10 triangle
The fifth triangle number, known as T5 is 15.
