What are the types of triangles based on sides?

Back

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

What are the types of triangles based on angles?

Back

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

Front

What is the sum of the angles in a triangle?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the measure of a missing angle in a triangle?

Back

Subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle has at least two sides that are equal in length.

Front

What is an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle has all three sides of equal length and all angles measuring 60 degrees.

Front

What is a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle has all sides of different lengths and all angles of different measures.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle has one angle that measures exactly 90 degrees.

How do you classify triangles by their angles?

Back

1. Acute Triangle: All angles < 90°. 2. Right Triangle: One angle = 90°. 3. Obtuse Triangle: One angle > 90°.
