Angle sizesStop and Think!
What do you notice about these angles?

Did you notice that these angles are all small? We call angles that are less than 90 degrees acute. You can remember this by thinking of “a cute” little angle.
Notice how the 90 degree angle looks like a chair? This angle is called a right angle. Any angle that is smaller than that chair is our acute little angle!
.
Remember: 90 degree angles are chairs, they are “right” to sit on.
Acute angles are less than 90 degrees, they are “ a cute” little angle
Right Angle- 90 degrees Acute Angle- Less than 90 degrees

Stop and Think!Do you know what we call the last angle?
Right Angle Acute Angle ????

Obtuse AnglesAny angle larger than 90 degrees is called obtuse. Can you think of a way to
remember that the obtuse angle is a big angle?
Right Angle- 90 degrees Obtuse angle- More than 90 degrees

TrianglesAngle sizes help us to identify triangles too! Look at the triangles below, and see if you can guess what
kind of triangle they are:

Triangle Side LengthYou already know that we can name triangles by their angles…. Did you know we can name them by their side
length too?
Look at this triangle and think about what’s special about it.
![Page 13: Created by Ruth Myles CEP 811 Objectives: After completing this activity you will be able to identify triangles by their angles and their side lengths](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cee5503460f949bc697/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Maybe you noticed…
It’s blue It’s an acute
triangle The angles are all
the same size
What about the sides of the triangle?
When all the sides of a triangle are the same or equal we call
it an equilateral triangle!
![Page 14: Created by Ruth Myles CEP 811 Objectives: After completing this activity you will be able to identify triangles by their angles and their side lengths](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cee5503460f949bc697/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What if all the sides are not equal?
This triangle has two equal sides. It is called an isosceles triangle. Some students think they look like icicles.
This triangle has no sides that are the same length. It is called a scalene triangle. Can you think of a way to remember that scalene triangles have no equal lengths?

What does congruent mean?
Triangles are congruent if they are the same shape and size. Are these triangles congruent?
![Page 17: Created by Ruth Myles CEP 811 Objectives: After completing this activity you will be able to identify triangles by their angles and their side lengths](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cee5503460f949bc697/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We can tell if two triangles are congruent by placing them on top of each other. If they match,
they are congruent.
These triangles are the same shape, but they are not the same size. They are not congruent.
![Page 18: Created by Ruth Myles CEP 811 Objectives: After completing this activity you will be able to identify triangles by their angles and their side lengths](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cee5503460f949bc697/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How else can we tell if triangles are congruent?
We can’t always place two shapes on top of each other. Can you think of another way of telling if these triangles are
congruent?
![Page 19: Created by Ruth Myles CEP 811 Objectives: After completing this activity you will be able to identify triangles by their angles and their side lengths](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110206/56649cee5503460f949bc697/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measure it!
Looking at these measurements, we can tell that these triangles are congruent! They are the same shape, and the same size.
