Ordering Sides and Angles **

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a triangle and the measures of its angles?

Back

In a triangle, the longest side is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

Front

How do you order the sides of a triangle based on their lengths?

Back

To order the sides of a triangle from longest to shortest, compare the lengths of each side.

Front

What is the smallest angle in a triangle?

Back

The smallest angle in a triangle is the angle opposite the shortest side.

Front

How do you determine the largest angle in a triangle?

Back

The largest angle in a triangle is the angle opposite the longest side.

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

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

Front

If two sides of a triangle are equal, what can be said about the angles opposite those sides?

Back

If two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite those sides are also equal.

What is the definition of an acute triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of an obtuse triangle?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a right triangle?

Back

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