Classifying triangles


Let us learn about classifying triangles,the triangles can be classifying on the basis of length of sides and the size of angles.

Classifying triangles by using length:

  • Equilateral Triangle,
  • Isosceles Triangle,

Scalene Triangle,the next important thing is to learn about Classifying triangles by using angles:We can classify triangles by using angles in the following way:

  • Right angles triangle,
  • Acute triangle,

Obtuse triangle,Now that we have learnt about the classifications of triangles,let us look at the explanation of one these angles,example right angle triangle,a right angled triangle(or right triangle) is a triangle with one angle 90° and other two acute angles.The side facing the 90° is called hypotenuse.If x and y are the sides of a right triangle and z is the hypotenuse, then z2=x2+y2. Hope you like the above example of classifying triangles.Please leave your comments, if you have any doubts.
