Exploring Triangles and Quadrilaterals

This video tutorial by Kaeleigh covers the basic definitions and characteristics of triangles and quadrilaterals. It explains how to classify triangles by their angles and sides, and discusses the sum of interior angles in triangles, which is always 180 degrees. The tutorial also introduces quadrilaterals, describing their properties such as parallel and congruent sides, and explains that the sum of interior angles in quadrilaterals is 360 degrees. The video includes examples and exercises to find unknown angles in both triangles and quadrilaterals.

What defines a triangle?

• A shape with three sides and three angles

• A shape with two equal sides

• A shape with four sides

• A shape with six angles

How can triangles be classified by their sides?
