Objectives
• Identify and classify triangles by angles
• Identify and classify triangles by sides
Vocabulary
• Scalene – no sides are congruent
• Isosceles – two sides are congruent
• Equilateral – all sides are congruent
• Equiangular – all angles are congruent
Classifying Triangles… By angles
… By sides
Acute triangle Obtuse triangle Right triangle
Scalene triangle Isosceles triangle Equilateral triangle
All angles < 90 One angle > 90 One angle = 90
No sides are Two sides are All sides are

ARCHITECTURE The triangular truss below is modeled for steel construction. Classify JMN, JKO, and OLN as acute, equiangular, obtuse, or right.
Answer:JMN has one angle with measure greater than 90, so it is an obtuse triangle.
JKO has one angle with measure equal to 90, so it is a right triangle.
OLN is an acute triangle with all angles congruent, so it is an equiangular triangle.
ARCHITECTURE The frame of this window design is made up of many triangles. Classify ABC, ACD, and ADE as acute, equiangular, obtuse, or right.
Answer: ABC is acute. ACD is obtuse. ADE is right.
Answer: UTX and UVX are isosceles.
Identify the indicated triangles in the figure if
Isosceles triangles have at least two sides congruent.
Isosceles triangles
Scalene triangles
Answer: VYX, ZTX, VZU, YTU, VWX, ZUX, and YXU are scalene.
Scalene triangles have no congruent sides.
Identify the indicated triangles in the figure.
a. isosceles triangles
b. scalene triangles
Answer: ABC, EBC, DEB, DCE, ADC, ABD
Answer: ADE, ABE
ALGEBRA Find d and the measure of each side of equilateral triangle KLM if KL = d + 2, LM = 12 – d and KM = 4d – 13.
Since KLM is equilateral, each side has the same length. So KL = KM.
Substitution
Subtract d from each side.
Add 13 to each side.
Divide each side by 3.
Next, substitute to find the length of each side.
Answer: For KLM, and the measure of each side is 7.
Answer:
ALGEBRA Find d and the measure of each side of equilateral triangle if and
COORDINATE GEOMETRY Find the measures of the sides of RST. Classify the triangle by sides.
Answer: ; since all 3 sides have different lengths, RST is scalene.
Use the distance formula to find the lengths of each side.
Find the measures of the sides of ABC. Classify the triangle by sides.
Answer: ; since all 3 sides have different lengths, ABC is scalene.
