<p>In geometry, triangles are fundamental shapes defined by three sides and three angles. The area of a triangle is the measure of the region enclosed by the triangle, the perimeter is the sum of its sides, and the angles are the measures between the sides. In this topic, we will learn the formulas for triangle area, perimeter, and angles.</p>
