What are the types of triangles based on side lengths?

Back

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

Front

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 Triangle Sum Theorem?

Back

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

Front

If one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, what type of triangle is it?

Back

It is a right triangle.

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 a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle has all sides of different lengths.

Front

What is an acute triangle?
