Triangles: elements and classification

A triangle can be classified at the same time by its sides and by its angles: the two classifications describe different features.

What you need to know before the exercises

In this lesson: Classify a triangle by sides and by angles while keeping the two classifications distinct.

How to proceed: Read the two kinds of data separately: first compare side lengths; then check whether one angle is 90°, greater than 90°, or whether all are less than 90°.

You can already assume: Geometric objects and angles.

Try it now

Read the triangle data and classify it in both ways.
