Understanding Triangles

This video from Minity Maths introduces the different types of triangles: right-angled, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene. It explains their properties, such as angles, sides, and lines of symmetry. Right-angled triangles have a 90-degree angle and a hypotenuse. Equilateral triangles have equal sides and angles of 60 degrees. Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and base angles, while scalene triangles have no equal sides or angles. The video concludes with practice questions.
