Triangle Classifications by Sides and Angle

=Classification by Side= There are three different classifications for triangles based on sides. 1.) Equilateral-Has three congruent sides == 2.) Isosceles-Has two congruent sides == 3.) Scalene-Has no congruent sides ==

=Classification by Angles= There are four different classifications for triangles based on angles. 1.) Acute-Has three acute angles == 2.) Right-Has one angle that measures 90 degrees == 3.) Obtuse-Has one angle that measures more than 90 degrees == 4.) Equiangular-All sides of the triangle are congruent ==

=Summary= Triangles are classified by their sides and angles. The side classifications are equilateral (all equal sides), isosceles (at least 2 sides equal), and scalene (no sides equal). The angle classifications are right (90 degree angle), obtuse (bigger than 90 degrees), acute (smaller than 90 degrees) and equiangular (all angles are equal).
