Types of Triangle by Angles
All Angles less than 90 degrees → Acute

Types of Triangle by Angles
One Angle greater than 90 degrees, but less than 180° →
Obtuse

Types of Triangle by Angles
One Angle equal to 90 degrees → Right

How to classify a triangleChoose one from each category
Sides Angles____ Scalene Acute
Isosceles Right
Equilateral Obtuse

Equiangluar
All the angles are Equal
This will ALWAYS be paired up with Equilateral

Example 7
Given: ∆ABC with mC = 90°
Prove: mA + mB = 90°Statement Reason
1. mC = 90°
2. mA + mB + mC = 180°
3. mA + mB + 90° = 180°
4. mA + mB = 90°
