Question 1 of 5
Triangle Geometry

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh
