Triangles Practice, Types and Angle Measures

Front

What is a triangle?

Back

A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry.

Front

What are the types of triangles based on side lengths?

Back

1. Equilateral: All sides are equal. 2. Isosceles: Two sides are equal. 3. Scalene: All sides are different.

Front

What are the types of triangles based on angles?

Back

1. Acute: All angles are less than 90 degrees. 2. Right: One angle is exactly 90 degrees. 3. Obtuse: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.

How do you find the length of a missing side in a right triangle?

Back

Use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is an obtuse triangle?

Back

An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one angle greater than 90 degrees.

Front

What is an acute triangle?

Back

An acute triangle is a triangle where all three angles are less than 90 degrees.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle equal to 90 degrees.

Front

How do you classify a triangle with sides of lengths 5 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm?

Back

It is an isosceles triangle because two sides are equal.

Front

What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height.
