Understanding Triangles

This video tutorial introduces triangles, explaining their basic properties, such as having three sides, vertices, and angles. It covers the classification of triangles based on angles (acute, right, obtuse) and sides (isosceles, scalene, equilateral). The video also discusses key properties, including the sum of internal angles being 180 degrees and external angles being 360 degrees. These concepts are applied in exercises to reinforce understanding.
