In geometry, a portion of a surface bounded by three lines , and consequently having three angles. Triangles are either plane, spherical, or curvilinear. A plane triangle is a portion of a plane bounded by three straight lines called sides, and their points of intersection are the vertices of the triangle. Plane triangles may be classified either with reference to their sides or their angles. When classified with reference to their sides, there are two classes : (1) Scalene triangles, which have no two sides equal. (2) Isosceles triangles , which have two sides equal. The isosceles triangle has a particular case, called the equilateral triangle, all of whose sides are equal. When classified with reference to their angles, there are two classes : (1) Right-angled quadrantal, when one of its sides is equal triangles, which have one right angle. to 90°.

What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's in 1921 credits Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan with a knighthood "for his attempts to relieve the distress caused by the Irish famine." Modern judgement has almost inverted that: as the Treasury official directing famine relief he is now remembered chiefly for his rigid free-market convictions and his remark that the calamity was a "mechanism for reducing surplus population," and he is cursed by name in the popular ballad "The Fields of Athenry." The third figure here, George Macaulay Trevelyan, was only 45 and part-way through his career when this was written; he went on to be Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge (1927), Master of Trinity College (1940-51), and author of the best-selling "English Social History" (1944), though his confident Whig framing of English progress later fell out of academic fashion. Sir George Otto Trevelyan, the eldest of the three, died in 1928.
