Classifying Right Triangles

This lesson covers the classification of right triangles by examining their angles and sides. It begins with an introduction to right angles and moves on to explain different types of angles: acute, right, and obtuse. The lesson then details how to classify triangles based on angles, such as acute, obtuse, and right triangles. It also explains classification by sides, including equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Finally, it discusses specific types of right triangles, such as scalene right triangles and isosceles right triangles, emphasizing the importance of using both angles and sides for classification.
