What are the types of triangles based on side lengths?

Back

1. Equilateral Triangle: All sides are equal. 2. Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal. 3. Scalene Triangle: All sides are different.

What are the types of triangles based on angles?

Back

1. Acute Triangle: All angles are less than 90 degrees. 2. Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees. 3. Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.

Front

What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?

Back

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

How do you find the measure of a missing angle in a triangle?

Back

To find a missing angle, subtract the sum of the known angles from 180 degrees.

Front

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees.

Front

What are vertical angles?

Back

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines intersect. They are always equal.

Front

What is an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length and the angles opposite those sides are equal.

Front

What is an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of equal length and all three angles are equal, each measuring 60 degrees.

Front

What is a scalene triangle?

Back

A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all sides and angles are different.
