A triangle can be classified according to its sides or the magnitude of its largest angle (two of the angles MUST be acute angles).
All three sides equal: equilateral. Such a triangle must be equiangular, but that term is rarely used.
Two equal angles, third one different (or two sides equal and third different): isosceles.
All three angles different (all three sides different): scalene.
Largest angle = 90 degrees: A right angled triangle.
Largest angle obtuse: An obtuse angled triangle.
