triangle
Simplest closed polygon
A triangle is a three-sided polygon, the simplest closed shape in geometry.
The term extends to objects with this shape: a musical triangle struck with a metal rod, a drafting triangle for drawing angles.
A love triangle involves three people in overlapping romantic entanglements.
In plural, triangles can mean a percussion instrument or the relationship configuration: She found herself caught in a triangle.
