Projection Of A Side Of A Triangle

Definitions and notations

Math
  • Projection in Geometry: Projection in geometry refers to the process of creating a "shadow" or image of an object on a surface by extending lines from the object to the surface.

  • Pythagoras Theorem: The Pythagoras theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Mathematically, if aa and bb are the shorter sides and cc is the hypotenuse, then the theorem can be written as a2+b2=c2a^2+b^2=c^2.

  • Right Angle: A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 9090 degrees (90)(90^∘).

  • Obtuse Angle: An obtuse angle is an angle that measures more than 9090 degrees but less than 180180 degrees (90^∘<\text{angle}<180^∘).

  • Acute Angle: An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 9090 degrees but greater than 00 degrees (0^∘<\text{angle}<90^∘).

  • Vertex of a Triangle: The vertex of a triangle is a point where two sides of the triangle meet. A triangle has three vertices.

  • Complementary Angles: Complementary angles are two angles that add up to 9090 degrees.

  • Supplementary Angles: Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180180 degrees.
