Why are scalene triangles and equilateral triangles different?
A scalene triangle has three unequal sides, an equilateral triangle has three equal sides. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. Because with a scalene triangle only two sides are equal but with a equilateral triangle that would mean all sides are equal. (scalene = 2 sides & equilateral = all sides equal)
What has two fewer sides then a Pentagon?
A pentagon has five sides, so two fewer sides would mean a shape with three sides. This shape is known as a triangle. Triangles are the simplest polygon and can vary in type, such as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene, depending on the lengths of their sides.
What does isosceles triangle mean?
an isosceles triangle is a triangle that means two of the triangles sides have the same length and two angles are the same
What are the identifying features of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has two equal sides (and a third that is a different measure). It can also be identified by the fact that it has two equal angles and the third is different. The above also mean that two of the three altitudes, medians, etc are equal while the third is different. If the third measure is not different the triangle is equilateral.
What do isosceles mean?
Isosceles with a Clasical Greek mathematician, who theorised over triangles. Today in his memory we have the Isosceles Triangle, which is a triangle of two equal lengths and two equal angles.
