Classifying Triangles by Angles

This lesson covers classifying triangles by their angles, including right, obtuse, and acute triangles. It explains how to use Venn diagrams for classification and employs higher order thinking to identify triangles. The lesson also demonstrates creating triangles from rectangles and squares, and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on lines.

What type of angle does a right triangle always include?

• Obtuse angle

• Acute angle

• Straight angle

• Right angle
