Math – Gd. 6 Unit 3 Classifying Triangles Measurement: Shape and Space By Vernon Savoury
What is a Triangle? A triangle is a polygon (closed figure) with 3 sides and 3 angles. angle side side angle angle side
Triangles can be classified by: • the size of their angles • the length of their sides
Acute Triangle • A triangle with all angles acute • (less than 90 degrees) acute acute acute
Right Triangle • A triangle with one angle equal to 900. 900
Obtuse Triangle • A triangle with one angle greater than 900 but less than 1800 . Obtuse angle
Scalene Triangle • A triangle with all sides of different length. 5 cm 4 cm 6 cm
Isosceles Triangle • A triangle with two sides equal. 8 cm 8 cm 6 cm
Equilateral Triangle • A triangle with all sides equal. 8 cm 8 cm 8 cm
Properties of Triangles • The sum of all the angles is equal to 1800. 600 300 900 + 1800 600 300 900
What is the size of the missing angle? To find the missing angle, subtract the two given angles from 1800. 450 ? = 1800 – 450 – 900 = 450 900 ?
