Why Does A Triangle Have Three Sides? by deleib(m): 5:56am On Jun 23, 2016 |
Children are very inquisitive, especially the intelligent ones. They could ask you questions like why is The sky blue? why is there night and day? why am i a girl or a boy? who made God? etc. Yesterday, while i was teaching a set of under ten pupils properties of plane shapes of which triangle is among, I had already explained to them that both rectangle and square are quadrilateral because they have four sides. Then I Moved Ahead To Talk About Triangles. I explained to them that unlike square and rectangle, triangle has only three sides. To my surprise one of the pupils stood up and said "uncle why does a triangle have three side"?. For some minutes, i was dumbfounded before i regain my whole self. I told the child that that is what mathematics makes us to understand; i couldn't give a satisfactory explanation. To The Mathematics Eistein, What Is Your Answer To This? |

That is why its called Triangle - 3 angles or edges . Triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry. Other types of polygons are Quadrilateral or tetragon - with 4 angles or edges Pentagon - 5 angles /edges Hexagon -6 Heptagon -7 Octagon - 8 and so on |
