A triad with the third on the bottom is in

Answer 1

A triad with the third on the bottom is in first inversion. In music theory, triads can be arranged in different positions based on which note is in the bass (the lowest sounding note).

1. In root position, the root of the triad is the lowest note.
2. In first inversion, the third of the triad is the lowest note.
3. In second inversion, the fifth of the triad is the lowest note.

So, if the third note of a triad is in the bass, it means the triad is in first inversion.
