Objectives:

• To identify and discuss different types

of triangle.
• Find the measure of each of marked angle
 What Is a Triangle?

a 3-sided all its sides

shape are
straight

has 3 interior
angles* that
a 2D shape add up to
180o

*the angles inside the shape

 Equilateral Triangle
Do you think you know any properties of equilateral triangles?
What do you think equilateral means?

All its interior

Has 3 equal

the same.

If the angles in a triangle add up

to 180º, what must each
interior angle in an equilateral
triangle be?

60º
 Isosceles Triangle
Do you think you know any properties of isosceles triangles?

They have 2 equal sides.

They have 2 interior angles that

are the same. These are called
the base angles.
 Scalene Triangle
Do you think you know any properties of scalene triangles?

All of its sides are

80º different
lengths.

60º 40º
All of its interior angles are
different – but they still add
up to 180º.
 Right Triangle
Do you think you know any properties of right-angled triangles?

One of the angles is a right

angle = 90º.
a

The other two angles will

add up to 90º

The longest side of a right-

90º d angled triangle is called the
hypotenuse.
a triangle having all
acute angles
