Right-Angled Triangles If a triangle has a right-angle it could be or. isosceles scalene Scalene Triangles A scalene triangle is a triangle where no lengths or angles are equal. A commonly known scalene triangle is the triangle. The purple triangle is also and edges are in the same ratio.

Right-Angled Triangles Isosceles Triangles The only type of isosceles right-angled triangle is the triangle An isosceles triangle is a triangle where a pair of lengths and angles are equal. The purple triangle is also and edges are in the same ratio.

AnswersAnswers

Testing if Right-Angled Example

AnswersAnswers Yes No No No Yes Yes Two of the numbers are even, so it is not right-angled.

Acute and Obtuse Triangles An acute triangle exists when. An obtuse triangle exists when. A right-angled triangle exists when. Acute Isosceles Obtuse Isosceles Right-angled Isosceles Acute Scalene Obtuse Scalene Right-angled Scalene

Acute and Obtuse Triangles When a triangle is acute… When a triangle is obtuse…

Acute and Obtuse Triangles Example obtuse All edges are different so the triangle is obtuse scalene.

Answers - Easy Obtuse Isosceles Acute Scalene Right-Angled Scalene Acute Scalene Obtuse Scalene Acute Isosceles Right-Angled Scalene Obtuse Scalene The length of the two shorter edges is less than the longest edge

Answers - Hard All angles nearly the same.
