Triangles

So many different types of triangles! Here's a couple:

     Isosceles triangles have two sides that are the same length, the third is a different length. They also have two congruent (I love using math terms from middle school) angles that are opposite each other and adjacent along the third side.

     There's the Equilateral or Equal-angular triangle that has sides of the same length and with the same angles. They're not really as interesting as some triangles.

     There's the triangle that has sides of all different lengths and angles of all different measures. The sum of all the angles must be 360 degrees, something about the sum of the angles creating a circle. No one angle can measure 180 or more, something about a straight line can't be an angle...

     Then there's a love triangle. They're the BEST! (note the sarcasm) One of my friends recently stopped waiting for the guy she'd assumed was her 'one and only' prince charming to date a guy she'd just met. A normal occurrence in college, right? Apparently the former prince charming didn't see it that way and is trying to convince her to drop the new guy and commit to him, without a commitment on his side. While the new beau wants to give her the world, and commit to whatever she wants. I understand relationships are hard, but add in another variable to the two-point line just makes everything more complicated.

Sometimes triangles are fantastic, other times they're not the right situation.
Just a thought....
