    ==Naming conventions==
    ==History==
    Usually, the vertices of a triangle are counter-clockwise denoted by big Latin letters, while small Latin letters are used for the sides: Each side will have the same letter as the opposite vertex.  
    Trigender was mentioned as one of many valid nonbinary identities in the 2013 text ''Sexuality and Gender for Mental Health Professionals: A Practical Guide''.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=9781446293133|title=Sexuality and Gender for Mental Health Professionals: A Practical Guide|last1=Richards|first1=Christina|last2=Barker|first2=Meg|year=2013|publisher=SAGE Publications}}</ref>
    The angles are denoted by Greek letters, if possible, the letter of an angle will correspond to the letter of the adjacent vertex.
    Often, the sides will be referenced by the adjacent vertices: in the triangle on top of this page, we have <math>a = \overline{BC} = \overline{CB}, b = \overline{CA} = \overline{CA}, c = \overline{BA} = \overline{AB} </math>.
    Similarly, the angles are denoted as <math>\alpha = \angle CAB, \beta = \angle ABC, \gamma = \angle BCA</math>.

    A [[right triangle]] has one 90º angle. Right triangles have special properties (see [[trigonometry]]).

    [[Category:Nonbinary identities]]
    An [[isosceles triangle]] has two equal angles, and two equal sides.
     
    An [[equilateral triangle]] has three equal sides, and three 60º angles.
     
    If a triangle is not one of the above, it is a '''scalene triangle''' -- that is, a triangle with no [[congruent]] angles.
     
    An '''obtuse triangle''' has one angle that measures more than 90<sup>o</sup>.

    ==Congruence of triangles==
    Triangles can be proven [[congruent]] in the following ways:
     
    '''Side-Angle-Side (SAS)''': If two sides are equal and the included angle is equal to another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br>
    '''Side-Side-Side (SSS)''': If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br>
    '''Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)''': If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal the ones of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br>
    '''Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)''': If two angles and a side that is not included are equal to the ones of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.<br>
    The SSA (Side-Side-Angle) cannot prove triangles congruent unless it is a right angle, where it is known as the HL (Hypotenuse-Leg) Theorem. AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) cannot prove triangles congruent either. In [[hyperbolic geometry]], however, it does prove congruence.

    Trigender is a gender identity under the multigender and transgender umbrella terms. Trigender people experience exactly three genders, either simultaneously or moving between the three (the latter one being under the genderfluid umbrella too).[1][2] These three genders can be any gender, either binary or nonbinary.[3]

    History

    Trigender was mentioned as one of many valid nonbinary identities in the 2013 text Sexuality and Gender for Mental Health Professionals: A Practical Guide.[4]
