Objectives Classify triangles by their angle measures and side lengths. Use triangle classification to find angle measures and side lengths.
Vocabulary acute triangle equiangular triangle right triangle obtuse triangle equilateral triangle isosceles triangle scalene triangle
Recall that a triangle ( ) is a polygon with three sides. Triangles can be classified in two ways: by their angle measures or by their side lengths.
C A AB, BC, and AC are the sides of ABC. B A, B, C are the triangle's vertices.
By Angle Measures Acute Triangle Three acute angles
By Angle Measures Equiangular Triangle Three congruent acute angles
By Angle Measures Right Triangle One right angle
By Angle Measures Obtuse Triangle One obtuse angle
Example 1: Classifying Triangles by Angle Measures Classify BDC by its angle measures. obtuse Classify ABD by its angle measures. acute
Example 2 Classify FHG by its angle measures. equiangular
By Side Lengths Equilateral Triangle Three congruent sides
By Side Lengths Isosceles Triangle At least two congruent sides
By Side Lengths Scalene Triangle No congruent sides
Remember! When you look at a figure, you cannot assume segments are congruent based on appearance. They must be marked as congruent.
Example 3: Classifying Triangles by Side Lengths Classify EHF by its side lengths. isosceles Classify EHGby its side lengths. scalene
Example 4 Classify ACD by its side lengths. isosceles
Example 5: Using Triangle Classification Find the side lengths of JKL. JK=KL=23.3 JL = 44.5
Example 6 Find the side lengths of equilateral FGH. All = 17
Example 7: Application A steel mill produces roof supports by welding pieces of steel beams into equilateral triangles. Each side of the triangle is 18 feet long. How many triangles can be formed from 420 feet of steel beam? 7
