Classifying Triangles by Sides

The video tutorial explains how to classify triangles based on their sides, using tick marks and numbers to identify equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. It provides a step-by-step guide to determine the type of triangle by checking if all sides are equal, two sides are equal, or no sides are equal. Practical examples are given to reinforce the concepts, and the tutorial concludes with a summary of the classification process.

What defines an equilateral triangle?

• No sides of equal length

• Three sides of equal length

• Two sides of equal length

• Three sides of different lengths

What type of triangle has two equal sides?

• Equilateral

• Scalene

• None of the above

• Isosceles

Which triangle has no equal sides?

How do we classify triangles by their sides?

• Using angles

• Using side lengths

• Using vertices
