Learning Objective

I can classify triangles by their angles and sides.

  • 1

    Triangles are polygons that always have 3 sides and 3 angles.

  • 2

    Triangles can be classified by their sides (equilateral, isosceles, and scalene) and by their angles (right, acute, and obtuse).

  • 3

    The three angle measurements of any triangle, when combined, will always add up to 180 degrees.
