Classifying Triangles by Angles and Sides

The video tutorial explains how to classify triangles based on their angles and sides. It covers three types of angle-based classifications: acute, right, and obtuse triangles, and three types of side-based classifications: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate how to identify and name triangles by selecting one classification from each category.

What are the two main criteria for classifying triangles?

• Color and size

• Area and perimeter

• Angles and sides

• Length and width
