Let's continue with our project - Classifying Triangles


We can classify triangles by sides or angles.

Begin by finding the area of a triangle.

Side lengths

Equilateral all sides are the same length.

Isosceles. two sides are the same length.

Scalene: no sides are the same length.

Angles

Acute triangle: has all angles less than 90 deg.

Right triangle: has one 90 deg angle.

Obtuse triangle: has an angle greater than 90 deg.

Try Activity One

After you finished the matching watch this video on triangles.
