2. Warm Up February 17, 2011 Complete your Fantastic Four and grab two colored pencils from the back table.

3. Objective: Today I will be able to classify different types of triangles.

4. Classifying Triangles

5. The sum of the angle measures of EVERY triangle is 180°.

6. 180°

7. Every triangle can be classified by its angles and by its sides.

8. Classifying Triangles by Angles

9. If EVERY angle is less than 90°, it is an ACUTE Triangle.

10. one is fat If the measure of ONE angle is more than 90° it’s an OBTUSE triangle.

11. If ONE angle measures 90°it is a RIGHT triangle.,

12. Classifying Triangles by Sides

13. it is SCALENE. No sides the same If none of the sides have the same length,

14. it is an ISOSCELES triangle. If at least two sides measure the same,

15. Try to think of an isosceles triangle as a person.

16. The arms would be attached on the congruent sides.

17. The point shared by the congruent sides is the head.

18. The two other points represent the feet.

19. The angles by the “feet” are always congruent.

20. Try to figure out which angles are equal.

21. Be careful, your triangle might be “tired”.

22. all the sides equal EQUILATERAL. If the measure of EACH side is equal, it is…

23. All equilateral triangles are also equiangular…

24. all the same If the measure of EACH angle is equal, it is EQUIANGULAR.

25. Can a triangle be right and isosceles? What is the measure of the other 1 two angles? 2

26. A. 45°

27. B. 60°

28. C. 50° 65°

29. D. 28° 17° 135°

30. E. 36° 79° 65°

31. F. 41° 68° 71°

32. G. 25° 100° 55°

33. Classify Cut and Paste Start with the color to classify the Sides Then cut out and classify angles.
