How Many Vertices Does A Triangle Have

Introduction

In the historical era, Egyptians made pyramids that had 6 vertices. When we see the pyramid only from the front side and draw it on a piece of paper. We notice that now it has only 3 visible vertices. There is a name given to this: Triangle. Triangle is a 2D geometric shape with 3 vertices, but many types!

In this article first, we will discuss triangles and their number of vertices. Secondly, we will look at some FAQs to better understand Triangles.

About triangles and their number of vertices

We know that a triangle has 3 vertices, but what are vertices?

Vertices are the points where two or more lines or curves meet, to form an angle between them. In simple language, it is called the corner of a shape.

How to draw a Triangle:

1. Draw a line AB

2. Draw another line from point B, such that its extended point is called C

3. Now, connect the lines A and C

We can see that a triangle is formed with vertices A, B, and C

Now, let us learn some facts about Triangles:

1. Triangles have 3 sides, 3 angles, and 3 vertices

2. When we add all the angles of the triangle, its sun will be 180 degrees.

3. Triangle comes from a latin word triangulus.
