A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.): \triangle
In Euclidean geometry any three non-collinear points determine a unique triangle and a unique plane (i.e. a two-dimensional Euclidean space).
Triangles can be classified according to the relative lengths of their sides:
In diagrams representing triangles (and other geometric figures), "tick" marks along the sides are used to denote sides of equal lengths – the equilateral triangle has tick marks on all 3 sides, the isosceles on 2 sides. The scalene has single, double, and triple tick marks, indicating that no sides are equal. Similarly, arcs on the inside of the vertices are used to indicate equal angles. The equilateral triangle indicates all 3 angles are equal; the isosceles shows 2 identical angles. The scalene indicates by 1, 2, and 3 arcs that no angles are equal.
This shape is brilliant...
This shape was brilliant
This shape was pure.
I saw three angles,
Of that I'm sure.
And I saw three pointy corners,
And then I saw three straight sides.
The top was very narrow,
And the base was oh so wide
*Wait that sounds like*
A TRIANGLE!
My triangle
Oh triangle it's true.
I saw your your shape,
In crowded place.
Now I don't know what to do,
Cause you're gone and I'm so blue
I searched low and high
Over earth and sky
But I can't find you triangle
Tell me why!
And I miss your base
Änd I miss your height
And my dreams are triangular
Every night
My triangle
My triangle
*So beautiful it's true*
*It must be those angles*
*That put a smile on your face*
*Not to mention the hypotenuse*
But I need to know the truth
