review: triangle facts
- they are closed — dimensional figures.
- they are formed by — segments that connect — noncollinear points.
- they have exactly — sides, — angles, and — vertices.
- each side is included between — angles and is opposite — angle.
- each angle is included between — sides and is opposite — side.
- practice: using visual cues
give one reason why each figure below is not a triangle.
Step1: Recall Triangle Basics
Triangles are 2 - dimensional closed figures. They are formed by 3 line segments connecting 3 non - collinear points. A triangle has 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices. Each side is included between 2 angles and is opposite 1 angle. Each angle is included between 2 sides and is opposite 1 side.
Step2: Fill in the Blanks
- "They are closed \(\boldsymbol{2}\) - dimensional figures." (Since triangles are planar, 2 - D)
- "They are formed by \(\boldsymbol{3}\) segments that connect \(\boldsymbol{3}\) noncollinear points." (By definition of a triangle)
- "They have exactly \(\boldsymbol{3}\) sides, \(\boldsymbol{3}\) angles, and \(\boldsymbol{3}\) vertices." (Basic properties of a triangle)
- "Each side is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) angles and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) angle." (For example, in \(\triangle ABC\), side \(BC\) is between \(\angle B\) and \(\angle C\), and opposite \(\angle A\))
- "Each angle is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) sides and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) side." (In \(\triangle ABC\), \(\angle A\) is between \(AB\) and \(AC\), and opposite \(BC\))
For the angle inclusion questions (first three bullet points, assuming the triangle is \(\triangle ABC\)):
- Angle \(\angle A\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(AC\).
- Angle \(\angle B\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(BC\).
- Angle \(\angle C\) is included between sides \(AC\) and \(BC\).
For naming the triangle (question 5, triangle \(DEF\) with right angle at \(F\)):
Possible names: \(\triangle DEF\), \(\triangle DFE\), \(\triangle EDF\), \(\triangle EFD\), \(\triangle FDE\), \(\triangle FED\), and also by its type (right - angled triangle at \(F\), so right triangle \(DEF\) or right triangle \(DFE\) etc.)
For question 7 (figures not shown, but common reasons a figure is not a triangle: not closed, less than 3 sides, sides not straight, points collinear etc.)

For the "REVIEW: Triangle Facts" blanks:
- They are closed \(\boldsymbol{2}\) - dimensional figures.
- They are formed by \(\boldsymbol{3}\) segments that connect \(\boldsymbol{3}\) noncollinear points.
- They have exactly \(\boldsymbol{3}\) sides, \(\boldsymbol{3}\) angles, and \(\boldsymbol{3}\) vertices.
- Each side is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) angles and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) angle.
- Each angle is included between \(\boldsymbol{2}\) sides and is opposite \(\boldsymbol{1}\) side.
For the angle inclusion (assuming triangle \(ABC\)):
- Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle A}\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(AC\).
- Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle B}\) is included between sides \(AB\) and \(BC\).
- Angle \(\boldsymbol{\angle C}\) is included between sides \(AC\) and \(BC\).
For naming triangle \(DEF\) (right - angled at \(F\)):
Possible names: \(\triangle DEF\), \(\triangle DFE\), \(\triangle EDF\), \(\triangle EFD\), \(\triangle FDE\), \(\triangle FED\), Right - angled triangle \(DEF\) (at \(F\)), etc.
