Right Triangles = 1 angle is 90 degrees Equilateral Triangles = Triangles with all three sides are equal in length
Some triangles can be classified by only term, and some triangles fall into two overlapping, non-mutually-exclusive categories.
Classifying triangles is a great skill to know.Acute Triangles: These are triangles with measures lessthan 90 degrees.Obtuse Triangles: Any triangle with measures greater than 90 Degrees.Right Triangle: Any triangle with a Right Angle (exactly 90 degrees)
Triangles can be classified by their sides or their angles. When classifying them by their angles, triangles are called: acute triangles - all three angles are acute (less than 90º) right triangles - one right angle (90º) and two acute angles obtuse triangles - one obtuse angle (larger than 90º) and two acute angles
If it's for an angle (triangles included) you can only write it 2 ways: XYZ and ZYX
