Triangle Properties and Classifications

The video tutorial explores the concept of triangles, a fundamental shape in geometry. It explains why triangles are classified into different types based on their sides and angles. The tutorial covers equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles, as well as acute, right, and obtuse triangles. The video aims to simplify the understanding of these classifications and their significance in geometry.

Why are triangles considered more complex than circles or squares?

• They are harder to draw.

• They are not used in geometry.

• They have a broader definition and more types.

• They have more sides.

What is a defining feature of an equilateral triangle?

• All sides are different.

• It has one right angle.

• All sides and angles are equal.

• Two sides are equal.

What does the term 'isosceles' mean in the context of triangles?

• No sides are equal.

• Two sides are equal.

• All sides are equal.

• All angles are equal.

Which of the following is true about scalene triangles?

• All sides are equal.

• It has a right angle.

• Two sides are equal.

• All sides are different.

What is the origin of the term 'scalene'?

• It is a modern English word.

• It is derived from Greek.

• It is derived from Latin.

• It is derived from French.

How are triangles classified based on their angles?

• Equilateral, isosceles, scalene

• Acute, right, obtuse

• Large, medium, small

• Parallel, perpendicular, intersecting

What is a characteristic of an acute triangle?

• It has one right angle.

• All sides are equal.

• It has one obtuse angle.

• All angles are less than 90 degrees.

Which triangle has one angle that is exactly 90 degrees?

• Equilateral triangle

• Right triangle

• Acute triangle

• Obtuse triangle

What defines an obtuse triangle?

• All angles are less than 90 degrees.

• It has one angle greater than 90 degrees.

• It has one right angle.

• All sides are equal.

What is the significance of the little square at the bottom of a right triangle?

• It indicates an obtuse angle.

• It indicates an acute angle.

• It indicates a right angle.

• It indicates an equilateral triangle.
