Classifying Triangles by Sides and Angles

The video tutorial covers the classification of triangles based on their sides and angles. It introduces key vocabulary and concepts such as equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles, as well as acute, right, and obtuse angles. The tutorial also explains how to organize triangles into a hierarchy and use Venn diagrams for classification. The video aims to help students understand and apply these concepts in geometry.
