Classifying Triangles and Measuring Angles

The video tutorial covers the classification of triangles by their sides and angles. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by a real-world example using the Epcot Center's Spaceship Earth. The instructor explains how to classify triangles based on side lengths (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and angles (acute, right, obtuse). A hands-on section demonstrates measuring triangles with a ruler and protractor. The video concludes with drawing exercises to reinforce the classification concepts.
