  1. Types of Triangles 3.6 AlexaBolock Mod. 9

  2. Scalene and Isosceles Triangles Isosceles- is a triangle in which at least two sides are congruent. Scalene- is a triangle in which no two sides are congruent.

  3. Equilateral and Equiangular Triangles • Equiangular- is a triangle in which all angles are congruent. • Equilateral- is a triangle in which all sides are congruent.

  4. Acute and Obtuse Triangles Obtuse Acute • Triangle in which all angles are acute. • Triangle in which one of the angles is an obtuse angle.

  5. Right Triangle • A Right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a right angle. • The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. • The sides that form the right angle are called the legs.

  6. Sample Problems

  7. Sample Problems cont.

  8. Practice Problems 1. Classify each of the triangles as scalene, isosceles, or equilateral. a.) b.) c.) X 6 6 PX> XN XN=PN P N 6

  9. Practice Problems 2. Classify each triangle as acute, right, or obtuse. • a.) b.) • c.) d.) Y 80° 60 ° 40° Z X

  10. Practice Problems 3. If PGK is equilateral, what are the values of x and y? P 15 X+8 K G 1/3 y – 6

  11. Practice Problems 4. S Proof E N A B

  12. Practice Problem 5. A C B

  13. Answers to Practice Problems 1. • a.) Equilateral • b.) Isosceles • c.) Scalene 2. a.) Right b.) Obtuse c.) Acute d.) Right 3. X+8=15 X=7 1/3y-6=15 Y-18=45 Y=63

  14. Answers cont. • 4.

  15. Answers cont. 5. • 13+x+4+x+7=42 • 24+2x=42 • 2x=42-24 • 2x=18 • X=9 • AB= 13 • AC=9+7=16 • BC=x+4=13 13=13 So the triangle is isos.
