The word triangle means three angles. • Every triangle has three angles and three sides. • Triangles can be classified according to the length of their sides or the size of their angles. • The sum of all angles in a triangle equals 180º
Classifying Triangles According to the Length Of their Sides
Equilateral Triangles • - An equilateral triangle has the same length on all three sides. • Identical marks on all sides of the triangles indicates that the triangle’s side has the same lengths. • The angles of a equilateral triangle are all the same.
Isosceles Triangles • Isosceles triangles have two sides of the same length and two angles of the same size. • The side that is not the same length is the base.
Scalene Triangle - Scalene triangles have three sides of different length and three angles of different sides.
Right Angle Triangle - A right angle triangle has one of its angles equal to 90º (one its angles is a right angle).
Acute Angle Triangle • An acute angle triangle has all angles smaller than 90º. • All three angles are acute.
Obtuse Angle Triangle • An obtuse angle triangle has one angle greater than 90º. • That is, one angle is obtuse.
Finding the Angle in Triangles The angles in all triangles equal 180º. For Example...
