CLASSIFY TRIANGLES BASED ON SIDES AND ANGLES

The closed shape which is being covered by three sides is known as triangle. 

Classify each triangle as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.

Problem 1 :

Solution :

The lengths of all the three sides are equal. So, the given triangle is an equilateral triangle.

Problem 2 :

Solution :

The lengths of all the three sides are different. So, the given triangle is a scalene triangle.

Problem 3 :

Solution :

The lengths of two of the sides are equal. So, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Problem 4 :

Solution :

The lengths of two of the sides are equal. So, the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Classify each triangle as acute, obtuse, right, or equiangular.

Problem 5 :

Solution :

i) All the given three angles are different .

ii) All the three angles are less than 90˚.

So, the given triangle is a acute triangle.

Problem 6 :

Solution :

i) All the given three angles are different.

ii) One of the angles is 90˚.

So, the given triangle is a right triangle.   

Problem 7 :

Solution :

i) All the given three angles are different.

i) One of the angles is greater than 90˚.

So, the given triangle is a obtuse triangle.  

Problem 8 :

Solution :

i) All the given three angles are equal.

ii) All the three angles are less than 90˚.

So, the given triangle is a equilateral and acute triangle.
