The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes

January 25, 2024 by Sastry CBSE

The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Pdf free download is part of Class 7 Maths Notes for Quick Revision.

The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes

Triangle: A triangle is a simple closed curve made of three line segments. It has three vertices, three sides and three angles. Here in ΔABC, it has
Sides: \(\bar { AB }\), \(\bar { BC }\), \(\bar { CA }\).
Vertices: A, B, C.
Angles: ∠BAG, ∠ABC, ∠BCA.
The side opposite to the vertex A is BC. The angle opposite to the side AB is ∠BCA.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 1

Classification of triangles based on sides

  • A triangle having three unequal sides is called a scalene triangle.
  • A triangle having two equal sides is called an isosceles triangle.
  • A triangle having three equal sides is called an equilateral triangle.

Classification of triangles based on angles

  • If each angle is less than 90°, then the triangle is called an acute-angled triangle.
  • If anyone angle is a right triangle, then the triangle is called a right-angled triangle.
  • If anyone angle is greater than 90°, then the triangle is called an obtuse-angled triangle.

Medians of a Triangle
The line-segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of its opposite side is called a median of the triangle. Since there are three vertices in a triangle, therefore, a triangle has three medians.

Altitudes of a Triangle
A line segment drawn from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to its opposite side is called an altitude (height) of the triangle corresponding to the opposite side. Since there are three vertices in a triangle, therefore, a triangle has three altitudes.

Exterior Angle of a Triangle and its Property
An exterior angle of a triangle is formed when a side of a triangle is produced. At each vertex, we have two ways of forming an exterior angle. The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two interior opposite angles.

Angle Sum Property of a Triangle
The sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.

Two Special Triangles: Equilateral and Isosceles
Equilateral Triangle: A triangle in which all three sides are of equal length is called an equilateral triangle.
In an equilateral triangle
(i) all sides have the same length and
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 2
(ii) each angle has measure 60°
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 3

Isosceles Triangle: A triangle in which two sides are of equal length is called an isosceles triangle.
In an isosceles triangle.
(i) two sides have the same length.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 4
(ii) base angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 5

Sum of the Lengths of Two Sides of a Triangle
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Right-Angled Triangle and Pythagoras Property
A triangle whose one angle is a right-angle is called a right-angled triangle. The side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse, the other two sides are known as the legs of the right-angled triangle.

Pythagoras Property: In a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse = sum of the squares on the legs. Conversely if the Pythagoras Property (holds) the triangle must be right-angled.

The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 6
Triangle ∆ABC has

  • three sides, AB, BC, CA.
  • three angles, ∠BAC, ∠ABC, ∠BCA and also denoted by ∠A, ∠B, ∠C respectively.
  • three vertices, A, B, C.

A triangle having all sides equal is called an equilateral triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 7

A triangle having two sides equal is called an isosceles triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 8

A triangle having all sides of different lengths is called a scalene triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 9

A triangle whose each angle measures less than 90° is called an acute-angled triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 10

A triangle one of whose angle measures 90° is called a right-angled triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 11

A triangle one of whose angle measures more than 90° is called an obtuse angled triangle.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 12
Each angle of an equilateral triangle measures 60°.

The angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.

A scalene triangle has no equal angles.

A median connects a vertex of a triangle to the mid-point of the opposite side.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 13
AD is the median of triangle ABC.

An altitude has one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle and the other on the line containing the opposite side.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 14
AD is the altitude of triangle ABC.
∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°.

A triangle has 3 medians and 3 altitudes.

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 15
∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B.

Angle Sum Property: The total measure of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 16
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°.
In right angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse = sum of the squares on the legs.
The Triangle and its Properties Class 7 Notes Maths Chapter 6 17
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
It is known as Pythagoras Property.
