Triangle-wave voltage signal is a periodic signal that always has a constant positive and negative slope and no zero slope. It is exactly how it is sounds... a triangle shaped wave.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ - just like that.
Nothing in this world can naturally produce perfect triangle waves. Every vibrates as periodic sinusoid. Triangle waves can be generated from sin waves with the use of Fourier Series.

By summing sin waves with different periods nearly any time-continuous signal can be created.

Try the mathematics and you will see how.For f(x) = ∫x dt, where x is a square wave function, f(x) will be a triangle wave function.Also try what happens where x is a triangle wave function!
to smooth the output of the half-wave rectifier from 1/2 an AC cycle per period to a constant voltage.
When the voltage level from the function generator is increased, the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope will rise in amplitude, appearing taller on the vertical axis. The shape of the waveform remains the same, whether it's a sine, square, or triangle wave, but the peaks and troughs will be more pronounced. Additionally, if the vertical scale on the oscilloscope is not adjusted, the waveform may clip if the voltage exceeds the oscilloscope's maximum input range.
It is smoothing
On a sine wave, the voltage is equal to zero at every integer multiple of 180 degrees. This occurs at 0 degrees, 180 degrees, 360 degrees, and so on. These points represent the crossings of the waveform along the horizontal axis, where the sine function equals zero.

you take the peak voltage and divide it by the square root of 2 100/1.414= 70.7 volts rms This is true only for sine wave. For other waveforms like a triangle signal it is different.
The voltage of a transformer should be a sine wave but if the transformer is overloaded with excess voltage there could be nonlinear effects in the magnetic core that cause harmonics (i.e. departure from a sine wave) in the voltage. The current is determined by the load. If the load is resistive the current and voltage have the same waveform (by Ohm's law) but if the load is nonlinear, a diode rectifier for example, the current will depart from being a sine wave.
It is smoothing
if that 144 is the peak voltage if its a sine wave the rms voltage is that voltage divided by sqrt(2) if not a sine wave (modified) you must find the area under the curve by integrating a cycle of that wave shape (root mean squared)
See the link belowA sine wave is computed by a mathematical function. A pure sine wave in a physical sense would exactly match the calculated value in the function at every point in time.
The effect of an RL circuit in half wave rectifier is that the voltage output wave forms for current and voltage will be modified .
A half wave rectifier does not make a stable voltage. A single phase half wave creates a "bumpy road" where voltage modulates between sine wave maximum and zero. A three phase half wave will create a more stable, but ultimately "unclean", voltage.
