Types of Triangles by Lengths of Sides. Definition: SCALENE a triangle in which no sides are congruent.
Types of Triangles by Lengths of Sides. Vertex Angle Definition: ISOSCELES a triangle in which at least 2 sides are congruent. Base Angles
Types of Triangles by Lengths of Sides. Definition: EQUILATERAL a triangle in which all sides are congruent. **EQUILATERAL applies to any figure in which all sides are congruent**
Types of Triangles by Lengths of Sides. An Equilateral Rectangle is a SQUARE.
Types of Triangles by Size of Angles. Definition: ACUTE Triangle a triangle in which all angles are acute.
Types of Triangles by Size of Angles. Definition: RIGHT Triangle a triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle.
Types of Triangles by Size of Angles. Definition: OBTUSE Triangle a triangle in which one of the angles is an obtuse angle.
Types of Triangles by Size of Angles. EQUIANGULAR: a triangle in which all angles are congruent. **EQUIANGULAR applies to any figure in which all angles are congruent**
Example: Given: m<CBD = 70 Prove: Triangle ABC is obtuse Proof: m<CBD = 70º and <ABD is a straight angle, so m<ABC = 110º. Since ΔABC contains an obtuse angle, it is an obtuse triangle.
