Classifying Triangles Worksheets

How do we classify triangles by naming them? Triangles are regular polygons with three sides and three angles. Triangles are classified based on their angles and sides. The measurements of these angles and sides may be different or the same size, there only maybe one distinctive angle; any two angles or sides may be of equal measurements. Based on their angles, triangles are classified as the following four types: Right triangles are those that have at least one angle of 90 degrees. Obtuse triangles are those that have an angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. Acute triangles are those that have all the angles of less than 90 degrees. Equiangular triangles are those that have all its angles of the same measurement. Based on their sides, triangles are classified as the following three types: As the name implies, equilateral triangles are those that have all the three sides of the same measurement. Isosceles triangles are those that two sides of equal measurement. Scalene triangles are those that have all three sides of different measurements.
